Tony Dokoupil had to suddenly halt the CBS Evening News broadcast from Taiwan Wednesday after a cameraman suffered a medical emergency.

“You will hear a lot about the rise of a powerful new China,” Dokoupil was saying as the camera quickly cut to B roll footage. “Is he ok?” Dokoupil was heard asking. “We’re going to take a quick break. We have a medical emergency here. We’re calling a doctor,” he says before the segment ends abruptly.
