Turkish police detained journalist Ivan Watson while he was reporting live on air Saturday.
In the video, above, Watson is describing the scene in central Istanbul, when plainclothes police ******rs begin surrounding him (around the 3:00 mark). The CNN correspondent, who is based in Istanbul, was reporting from Taksim Square, where he says Turkish riot police were on hand to prevent demonstrations on the one-year anniversary of last summer's Gezi Park protests.

Turkish police detained me and my crew in the middle of a live report in Taksim Square. One ******r kneed me in the butt.
