A Brazilian sports journalist was forced to dodge a man who stepped on screen and tried to plant a kiss as she delivered a report – before telling him "this is not right".

Julia Guimarães, a reporter with TV Globo and SporTV in Brazil, was delivering an on-air piece to camera from outside Yekaterinburg Stadium in Russia ahead of the Japan-Senegal clash on Monday when the incident happened.

The man, clad in a blue blazer, can be seen leaning in and attempting to kiss Ms Guimarães’ cheek as she delivers her report.

But the reporter then rebukes the man.

“Don't do this. Never do this again, OK?” she can be heard saying in the footage.

The man replies: “I'm sorry, sorry, OK, OK!”




She then continues: “I don't allow you to do that, never. OK? This is not polite. This is not right.

“Never do this. Never do this to a woman, OK? Respect.”

The incident comes after female reporters from Sweden and Colombia were harassed by men while reporting on the World Cup.
