BBC Reporter Harassed On Street Reporting On Street Harassment

A reporter for the BBC was filming a piece on street harassment in Nottingham when she was, on camera, a victim of street harassment.

Being harassed while simply walking down the street is nothing new, unfortunately. There has been a lot of discussion on whether things like catcalls, shouted obscenities, and wolf whistles are harmful in any way, but a lot of women (and men) feel uncomfortable walking alone, particularly at night.

Sarah Teale, a reporter for the BBC, took the streets recently to file a piece on street harassment. While filming, she was shouted at by a man, harassing her on the street. 

In the video, she is heard saying:

Teale tweeted later about the incident:
