ITV apologises after Central reporter filmed threatening to '****ing bang out' man
ITV has issued an apology after a reporter was filmed swearing and threatening to '****ing bang out' a man during a foul-mouthed rant.
Callum Watkinson, a reporter on ITV Central, was captured on camera as he launched into his tirade at a member of the public while filming a piece to camera in Birmingham's Centenary Square.
In the 53-second clip, posted to Twitter by imjustbrum, the reporter becomes fed up with the man who he accuses of repeatedly walking into the back of his shot, asking him if he has a job and whether it's at McDonald's or Footlocker.
An ITV spokesman apologised, and said Mr Watkinson had been spoken to.
He said: “ITV has spoken to the reporter and the matter is being dealt with internally.
