YUMA, Ariz. -- A U.S. Border Patrol agent was injured Thursday after illegal immigrants attacked him with rocks, officials said. The agent responded to the area after a camera operator saw seven people enter the U.S. illegally, officials said. Five of the people ran back toward Mexico while two others hid in the bushes. The agent apprehended the two who were hiding without incident, then pursued the five other immigrants, officials said. They said he spotted one of them near the base of the border fence and was struggling with him when two others climbed to the top of the fence on the Mexican side and began pelting him with rocks.
