NBC News reporters in Charlottesville, Va., got into an altercation with a group of protesters they identified as antifa on Saturday during demonstrations marking the anniversary of last year's deadly white supremacist rally.

Reporter Cal Perry tweeted videos late Saturday of protesters apparently screaming at him and other members of the press, with one video showing a protester grabbing one reporter's camera and yelling at nearby press.

Perry tweeted one video showing a protester attempting to grab a cameraman’s camera and telling him to stop filming.

Perry later replied to a negative tweet that the team was “getting a lot of this. Protesters trying to grab our camera.”

Minutes later, Perry posted a video of a protester snatching the camera out its operator's hand, yelling, “F--- you, snitch ass news bitch. F--- you.”

Perry also recorded protesters yelling at police after they broke up a few other altercations.

Perry later tweeted that the demonstrations, which began with students near the University of Virginia's campus, came to be "Almost exclusively Antifa" after students left the protests.

Perry did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill seeking information about the group with which the protesters were associated.

NBC Universal declined to comment on the altercations.

CNN reporters Jake Tapper and Brian Stelter condemned antifa for the altercation, saying the behavior was "unacceptable."
