Anchor attacked on More 4 News

I didn’t see this happen live, but only just found out about it.  ITN’s Alex Thompson, who is currently the main anchor of More4 News, the sister programme to Channel 4 News, and his cameraman, are interrupted by a protestor.  The result is a scuffle, and the studio anchor, who isn’t familiar to me, has to take the lead in to the next report.

Have to say, the protestor is a bloody idiot for thinking he could interrupt something like this and get away with it, and I have to say to those who think that this was an arranged act, to stop being so cynical about news broadcasting.  You don’t arrange for these kinds of interruptions.  Ever.
