A Spanish man was arrested by police after he engaged in inappropriate behavior by touching a Spanish TV journalist during her live report in Madrid on Tuesday, September 12. Journalist Isa Balado was delivering a report on a robbery in Madrid for Cuatro channel when an individual approached her from behind, placing his hands on her and inquiring about her channel affiliation.
While the journalist continued her reporting, the program’s host, Nacho Abad, was taken aback and asked, ”Isa, pardon my interruption… but did he just touch your buttocks?”
"Do you really have to touch my ass?”

When the journalist confirmed, he urged her to capture the man on camera. ”I simply can’t comprehend this. Could you please bring that man in front of me? Present this foolish individual to me! This guy is behaving senselessly,” he remarked. The journalist then confronted the man, saying, ”Regardless of your curiosity about our channel, is it really necessary to touch me inappropriately? I am in the middle of a live broadcast, and I’m working.”
The man adamantly denied any wrongdoing and departed while touching her hair this time. Moments later, he reappeared while she was still alive on air, insisting that she ”tell the truth.”
After the video gained attention, Madrid police apprehended the man for committing a sexual assault on a reporter during a live broadcast. A video shared on X depicts the man being led away in handcuffs by two police officers.
