Caution for TV bottom pinch man

A man who pinched a Channel 4 News presenter's bottom during a live broadcast has been cautioned.

Sue Turton was speaking to the camera from Oxford's flood-hit Osney Island when a man was seen on film walking past her on Bridge Street on 27 July.

She said she found the incident "quite humiliating" but continued reporting and did not wish to pursue the matter.



She also pointed out that "male reporters would never be treated to a public goosing".

A police spokeswoman said: "A man has been cautioned under the Public Order Act. There will be no further action."

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail have tracked down the bottom pincher, Rufus Burdett.

There's a longer video here.
