Two reporters were allegedly attacked Tuesday morning while they were filming construction material stores that infringe on railway safety rules around Phu Dien station in Tu Liem District, Hanoi.
A reporter from VTC14, a TV channel, was recording the stores at the station when a man named Thanh verbally threatened him and tried to snatch his video camera to prevent him from doing the job.
Then the aggressive man rushed to choke Le Duy Khanh, the other reporter from ATV, a TV program produced by An Ninh Thu Do newspaper, and punch him in the face when Khanh was capturing the scene.
The two reporters then asked for help from Phu Dien Commune police who are now investigating the reported attacks.
