BBC journalist praised after swearing man randomly interrupts during show at Manchester Piccadilly station

A journalist has been praised after a swearing man suddenly interrupted him during a show being filmed at Manchester Piccadilly train station. BBC broadcaster Nicholas Garnett was inside the station reporting on the current rail strikes on Thursday (June 23) when a random man appeared behind him and started swearing.

Garnett stuttered for a moment, before continuing on with the piece to camera. He stood in a relatively empty Piccadilly Station as another day of worker strikes hit the UK, with a huge reduction to services.

The clip, shared by BBC trainer Marc Blank-Settle, shows the random man, wearing a blue jacket, run up behind Garnett before leaning forward and swearing. He laughs and walks away, as the journalist apologies to viewers saying: "Sorry about that and apologies for the language that was used there."
