An Argentine journalist named Diego de Marco He suffered an unexpected setback while conducting a live dispatch from Sarandí, a town near Buenos Aires. Just before speaking, an assailant stole his cell phone and he escaped into an alley.

The event reopens the debate regarding the insecurity that exists in that country, in the midst of the health crisis that affects the population.

As could be seen, the reporter was wearing a mask and an electronic device in his hand, preparing to speak to the camera, when he was assaulted.

Visibly desperate, the journalist asked other people at the scene for help, thinking that they probably knew the subject.

However, the thief was able to “get away with it” and escaped fairly quickly. Meanwhile Marco yelled at him “Hey! Give it to me! Give it to me!”.

As expected, the situation became a trend in the neighboring country, where many people sympathized with the communicator.

It should be noted that Argentina surpassed one million coronavirus infections last week, despite having one of the longest quarantines in the world.

The country has also had to regret 27,100 people died because of the virus.
