Isa Balado was reporting on a Madrid robbery on Tuesday when he walked up and appeared to touch her bottom, which he denied when she confronted him.

Ms Balado tried to continue, but was interrupted by the programme's host.

"Isa, forgive me for interrupting you... but did he just touch your bottom?" Nacho Abad asked.

The reporter confirmed it, and Mr Abad told her to put the "idiot" on camera, to which the shot moves to show both Isa Balado and the man, who was still standing with her, smiling and laughing.

"As much as you want to ask what channel we are from, do you really have to touch my bottom? I'm doing a live show and I'm working," Ms Balado told him.

The man then denied touching her, and as he walked away attempted to tickle her head.

Police later said a man had been arrested for allegedly assaulting a reporter while she was doing a live television show, in a message posted on X, formerly Twitter.

This guy didn't even try to hide it. Then tries to scratch or tickle her head when leaving.

Jesus, that was even worse than I imagined, he literally had to reach over to grope her and then patted her like a dog. But at least the ending was good.

WTF just a random pervert decides groping someone on the street is appropriate?

A lot of Europe has problems with this sort of thing, pretty much every woman I know that's visited Italy has a story of having to flee an aggressive creep trying to grope and harass them. It's one of those problems that just hasn't been seriously addressed, people that bring it up are insulted and ignored, they say it's part of the national character for hot blooded boys to be boys...

I think it's starting to change as more youth are on more global communities like tiktok, they see that other people aren't having to put up with it and aren't accepting the excuses anymore.
