A Sky News interview featuring Tory MP Nadine Dorries was forcibly cut short following an off-camera altercation.
The interview, which took place this morning (July 28), saw Ms Dorries speaking from Birmingham with breakfast presenter Kay Burley. The two were having a regular interview before the Culture Secretary abruptly declared "we're going to have to go". Ms Burley attempted to ask why they had to stop the interview right before a man could be heard off camera causing a commotion.
Ms Dorries explained to the presenter “the cameraman’s in a bit of trouble”. Meanwhile, a man could be heard shouting: “Touch me then? You can’t because they’ll have you arrested for assault.”

Ms Dorries chimed into the conflict, and told the man: “He’s not touching you.” The man responded: “He can’t touch me madam, what do you mean he ain’t touching me? He can’t, I’ll have him arrested in five seconds flat.”
Ms Dorries continued to tell viewers: “The cameraman did not touch him.” Shortly after, Ms Dorries can be heard asking an onlooker if there is any security nearby and proceeding to ask if the cameraman was okay.
She then walks off camera while asking: "Should I move?" It is not yet understood why the unknown man started causing the confrontation with the cameraman.
