Journalist Issa Balado had just been in Madrid writing about shopkeepers who had been arrested for beating up a thief who wanted to rob them. The woman was speaking to the studio live when a man approached her from behind and grabbed her buttocks while asking her about the program she worked on.

He asked his studio mate. Balado said yes, then turned to the bully and questioned him.
“As much as you want to ask what channel we’re on, do you really need to grab my ass?” He asked the question. At first the man laughed and denied touching her. She then apologized and stared at him while the reporter asked her to leave him alone to work. The man then left, but before that he tried to touch the reporter’s head.
