The journalist team of the Nova.rs portal was attacked while reporting from the field. The attack took place on Banovo brdo while the Nova.rs portal team was reporting on a fire that broke out in a fast food restaurant. The person who introduced himself as the security guard of the building that caught fire in the morning in the mentioned street did not allow the journalists to do their work and physically pushed the Nova.rs reporter.

Some of the insults and threats uttered by the unknown man are: “You will be responsible for everything, delete the photos. Come on, you’d better not get beaten up, that we don’t break you like p***s, did you hear me, moldy? Go away immediately, so I don’t f*ck your mother, go.”
