Journalists ran into unforeseen obstacles while chasing Michael Avenatti around New York City Monday.
Literally.
WATCH:
“We’re going to let the judge control her court room as she usually does, a phenomenal judge,” Stormy Daniels’ lawyer stated as he was swarmed by reporters and cameramen. “Guys, be careful, I don’t want anybody to getting hurt.”

Despite Avenatti’s warning, multiple cameramen made contact with poles and cars parked along the New York streets.
One member of the scrum even took a tumble after backpedaling into a bike rack.
