The events have occurred in Canillas street , Madrid, when the program tried to report live the fire of a ‘ghost kitchen’ that caused a blackout that left the residents of several streets without electricity.
The fire was declared when a light transformer burned, whose flames originated yesterday afternoon at number 18 Canillas street. Telemadrid has reported on the event in the programs ‘Buenos dias Madrid’ and ‘120 minutos’. In the latter, a man attacked the cameraman and the reporter who at that time were trying to speak live with the residents of the area to tell what happened the day before.
The attack occurred around two in the afternoon , when this man shook and hit the cameraman, who did not stop recording at any time. « Don’t push me, I’ll take you by the neck . You can go wherever you want but don’t come here to lie. You are liars, ”the man shouted, while other neighbors looked out to learn the origin of the scandal. During the morning, the team of ‘Good morning Madrid’, which also broadcasts the Madrid regional channel, already suffered the violent attitude of this man, who came to attack the reporter. The team members notified the Police .
The kitchen of controversy: «I blow your face»: live attack on a Telemadrid team
