A live interview with Nadine Dorris came to an abrupt end after a confrontation with the cameraman and a bystander this morning in Birmingham.
The culture minister was answering a question from Sky’s Kay Burley when a commotion behind the camera interrupted her.
Ms. Dorris can be seen calling for security while a man is verbally abusive to the operator.
The man can be heard saying: “Your cameraman touched me,” as Ms Dorris quickly replied: “The cameraman didn’t.”

The Minister of Culture then speaks directly to the cameraman and asks if he is okay before asking if she should move.
The man continued to shout: “If anyone touches me, I’m going to call the police.”
Twitter users questioned why Sky News didn’t break away from the camera sooner.
It was only after the culture minister stepped back from the frame that Sky cut the live broadcast as Ms Burleigh said: “I think there’s a bit of a fall that’s not there.”
The interrupted interview comes days after a debate between the two Tory leadership contenders was dramatically cut short when host Kate McCann collapsed off camera while Liz Truss was speaking.
The Foreign Secretary’s horrified look and a loud bang were the telltale signs that something had gone wrong during Tuesday’s debate.
Returning to air on Wednesday night, Ms McCann said she felt “a bit embarrassed, a bit bruised, but she’s glad to be back and she’s perfectly fine”.
