CNN stud ANDERSON COOPER was in Cairo, Egypt yesterday, when violence broke out between supporters and opponents of President Hosni Mubarak. And he experienced some of the violence first hand.
--Anderson and his crew were actually surrounded by a pro-Mubarak crowd and ATTACKED. He told a manager back at CNN headquarters that he was, quote, "punched 10 times in the head."
--Anderson said that people were just walking up and taking swings at them. He added, quote, "The instinct is try to punch back . . . but in a situation like that you really can't because that just inflames the crowd all the more.
--"So all we could do is just try to walk as quickly as possible, stay together and seek a safe location which is where we are now."
