Sarah Teale, a journalist for BBC East Midlands Today, was perched on a wall on a street corner in the English city of Nottingham doing a piece to camera about a recent study looking into street harassment.
Just as she finished a man in a white hoodie and black pants walked past and released a string of obscenities causing Ms Teale to say: "Yeah, like that".
She later took to Twitter to report on the irony of the incident.
"Irony - reporting how 95 per cent of women are victims of verbal harassment and a man shouts sexual obscenities at me," she said.
