They then allegedly chased her down an alley, and “forcibly” took her camera. The photographer sustained minor injuries in the incident. Knight and Williams were already gone by the time cops arrived on the scene.

The investigation remains ongoing. Subin said detectives were still trying to locate a man and woman who were with Knight and Williams at the time.

A Beverly Hills Police Department lieutenant, Lincoln Hoshino, has has that it is an “ongoing, rapidly evolving investigation.” Adding, “We’re still working the case.”

Prosecutors are seeking to set bail at $1 million for Knight and $75,000 for Williams. CNN writes more on this story here.
