The reporter, Stephen McDonnell, formerly of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, was recording a piece to camera following the death of 35 people after someone drove an SUV into a crowd in the city of Zhuhai.

Police say a man crashed his car into a stadium in Zhuhai on Monday where he ran down groups of people exercising on the sports track. At least 45 people - among them elderly and children - were reportedly injured. While reporting about the attack, BBC China correspondent Stephen McDonell was angrily ordered to stop filming.
