A Channel Seven reporter confronted by protesters during anti-lockdown protests in Sydney has hit back at the cretin who attacked him.
In a video live streamed on social media, veteran television reporter Robert Ovadia was approached by a man as he covered the protests at Victoria Park at Chippendale in Sydney s inner-west on Saturday.
The man begins by asking Ovadia whether he s a member of the media and who he works for, as the reporter focuses on his phone. Are you one of us, brother? You re not with the media are you?
