"Sports journalist Fernando Vargas was the victim of a robbery while conducting a live broadcast for the program Activo Deportes in Cuernavaca, Morelos; an armed man approached him while he was parked inside his vehicle and, under threat, demanded that he hand over his belongings—all while the camera continued to record the entire incident.
The incident was reported on the evening of Tuesday, May 19, while the journalist was conducting a live broadcast from the streets of the Morelos state capital. The video—which subsequently began circulating on social media—documented every moment of the robbery, showing how the assailant approached the vehicle to demand keys, cell phones and wallets from the journalist and his companions.
During the broadcast, someone is seen opening the door of the communicator's car, racking the slide of a firearm, and ordering: 'The key, fast. Key, phones and wallets—fast,' while the journalist responded by handing over his personal belongings. Subsequently, the assailant insisted that he hand over his cell phone and forced him to exit the vehicle."
