The protesters surrounded the reporter and Channel 3's mobile broadcast unit, insisting the number of the protesters had already reached 100,000. Some threw water and bottles at the crew while others criticised the team of bias and taking the side of the government.
Worried for their safety, the team retreated inside the mobile unit. The protesters demanded that the mobile unit and the team be moved from the area.
Police then intervened and asked the team and other reporters to move from the spot. They agreed but the protesters followed and again spat and yelled at them. The reporters then took refuge in a nearby temple.
