A BBC journalist reporting on the prevalence of sexual harassment had her point powerfully illustrated while recording earlier this week.

Sarah Teale of BBC East Midlands Today had just explained how a study "showed a shocking 95% of people said they had been harassed - either jeered at or had obscenities shouted at them in the street".

Almost immediately after finishing her piece to camera, sexual obscenities were shouted at the reporter by a member of the public.

The comment is censored in the final clip, while Teale responds with a simple but effective "yeah, like that!".

She also commented on the incident on Twitter:

You can see the video of the incident below:

 

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
