Heckling of Vancouver TV reporter prompts police investigation
VANCOUVER — Police in Vancouver are investigating after a recurrence of last year’s viral phenomenon that saw hecklers interrupt live television reports to yell sexually explicit remarks into reporters’ microphones.
CTV reporter Sarah MacDonald filed a complaint with the Vancouver Police Department over an incident that took place in the city’s downtown around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday.
MacDonald was reporting on a group of Pokemon Go players that had gathered in Robson Square when a man stepped beside her and uttered a vulgarity while appearing to record the episode with his cellphone.
CTV British Columbia news director Les Staff condemned the incident.
