Balado told the man to let her do her job, according to Daily Mail, but he continued to allegedly bother her.

The show's anchor, Nacho Abad asked Balado "Isa, sorry to interrupt you. The sound is really bad. Did he just touch your a--?" Daily Mail reported in its translation of the video.

"Do you really have to grope me? I'm working on a live report." Balado told the man, per the outlet's translation.

The man denied the accusation, which us when Balado asked him to leave her alone again. Abad called the man "a complete imbecile," per the outlet's translation.

The man has not been identified, but he was later arrested by Spain's national police, who posted a video of him walking into a police station on X.

Police said he was arrested for "sexually assaulting a reporter while she was doing a live television show" in its post.

Abad later told viewers that the program had notified the police station about the incident.

"Our colleague was doing her job and an individual, with a smile, touched her buttocks without her consent. The important thing is that this disgusting individual is now arrested," Diego Losada, another reporter for the channel, said, per the Daily Mail's translation.
