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:
