Anti-US protestors attack American servicemen in Turkey

Anti-American protesters in Turkey have attacked three US sailors, forcing white bags over their heads and pelting them with missiles.

Footage of the incident in Istanbul shows about 10 demonstrators chanting: "Yankee, go home!".

The group also threw red paint at the servicemen, who were not in uniform, before closing in to briefly pull the sacks over their heads.

They managed to get away and are safely back aboard their ship.
