A Sky News reporter was forced off air after she was sworn at in Birmingham. A large crowd had gathered in the Bordesley Green area of the city following rumours that there could be a far-right protest this evening, August 5.
A Sky News reporter was forced to abruptly cut off her live broadcast from Birmingham when a gang of masked men approached.
One man could be seen cycling towards the camera while repeatedly yelling “Free Palestine”. The journalist swiftly apologised and ended the transmission.
During the live segment from Small Heath, an area in Britain’s second-largest city, the reporter was covering a gathering of over 1,000 members of the Muslim community amid rumours that far-right troublemakers were planning attacks on local properties.
Sky News viewers were shocked when a masked protester brutally interrupted a segment.
Becky Johnson was reporting live from Birmingham as the individual cycled up to the camera to yell: “free Palestine, f*** EDL”, leaving her lost for words.
She first said: “We know that Muslim community leaders have been speaking to the police as well”, as far-right protests continue to wreak havoc throughout the nation, forcing the police to respond to violent scenes in Rotherham, Middlesbrough, Bolton and other parts of the UK throughout Sunday, August 4.
More riots are feared this evening, as the UK has been rocked by a wave of violence over the past week.
