The president of CBS News is standing by one of the network's journalists who was arrested outside a Donald Trump rally.

Journalist Sopan Deb was arrested covering the rally at  the University of Illinois' Chicago campus on Friday. The event was canceled amid violence between Trump supporters and protesters.

Deb was handcuffed and charged with resisting arrest.

"On tape you see he did not resist, identified himself as working press," CBS News President David Rhodes tweeted.

Before being arrested, Deb tweeted about the chaotic night, saying, "I've never seen anything like what I'm witnessing in my life."

The reporter, who is Indian, has been traveling with the Trump campaign since last summer.
