ILOILO CITY, Philippines—A television reporter sustained minor injuries when she was manhandled inside a police station after covering a traffic accident early Monday morning.

GMA reporter Charlene Belvis, 24, suffered scratches and bruises after she was hit several times by Andrea Gorriceta around 3:55 a.m. at the compound of the Jaro District police station.

Video footages showed Gorriceta, 27, slapping Belvis on the side of the reporter's head, pulling her hair and dragging her briefly inside the police station leaving the reporter in tears.

Belvis hit her head on the floor, had scratches in her arm and bruises on her hand and body because of the attack.

Gorriceta was apparently irked after the television crew took footages of her and her car. She told dyOK Aksyon Radyo that she repeatedly asked Belvis and her crew not to take footages but the crew persisted.

Gorriceta earlier bumped into a woman, identified as Ria Aquino, while she was parking her car in front of the MO2 bar and restaurant in Mandurriao District. She also bumped into a concrete post.
