Bruins Reporter Gets Assaulted Outside of TD Garden During Live broadcast
Amidst the Boston Bruins grappling with the fallout from forward Milan Lucic's shocking arrest, an unexpected incident unfolded outside TD Garden. While WHDH 7News reporter Grant Hermes covered the Bruins' game against the rival Montreal Canadiens, a stranger approached from behind.
Playfully imitating WWE icon Ric Flair, the individual grabbed Hermes around the chest, exclaiming, "Yeah boy!"
«I'm fine. My photog (sic) is fine. But I wanna be clear how not ok this is,» Hermes shared on social media alongside the video. «The people you see on TV are at work, at a job where people make threats at us regularly. So when you yell at us, run into our live shots, or grab us, we don't know what you're there to do."
«I'm glad this guy wasn't someone with a gun or a knife or who wanted to hurt me or my photographer,» he added. «But the point is there are those people out there. We've seen it happen. So the next time you think about getting your 3 seconds of fame at a reporter's expense. Don't.»

This incident serves as a stark reminder that such behavior is never acceptable.
