Isa Balado was reporting on a robbery in Madrid for channel Cuatro when a man approached her from behind and touched her bottom before asking her which television channel she worked for.
Balado explained she was in the middle of a live broadcast and tried to continue with her report but host Nacho Abad insisted that she put the man in front of the camera. She confronted him, telling him that she had been trying to do her job.
Balado asked for the broadcast to be cut because she did not want to give the man any more attention. Mediaset Espana, which owns Cuatro, said it "categorically repudiates any form of harassment or aggression. We fully support Isa Balado, reporter for En boca de todos , after the absolutely intolerable situation she has suffered today."Spain's Labour Minister Yolanda Díaz said the incident should not go unpunished.
