WATCH: CNN reporter robbed at knifepoint live on air
Video shows the moment a reporter was mugged at
knifepoint during a live broadcast in Brazil.
Journalist Bruna Macedo was reporting live on rising water levels from heavy rain at the Bandeiras Bridge in Sao Paolo when a suspect was seen in the background crossing the bridge.
About two minutes later, while the reporter was speaking with an anchor in studio, the suspect appeared next to her.
She greeted the suspect as the studio anchor continued to talk about the water levels.
But he then pulls a knife on the reporter — causing her to step back as the camera cuts to a scene of the wet street.
Macedo handed over two phones but luckily wasn’t injured during the attack.
“She had a terrible scare but she is fine,” Rafel Colombo, the anchor in studio told Brazilian newspaper Fohla de Sao Pauolo.
