What would you do if a journalist tried to speak to you on camera? Talk or walk… right? Well that’s clearly not what one woman in Brisbane thought when Aussie journalist Alex Bernhardt approached her.

The woman (a friend of accused murderer Stevee Lee Kennedy who had been in court yesterday morning for the murder trial) was seen smoking whilst pushing a baby in a pram when Ms Bernhardt attempted to speak to her on camera, and then we see the woman pause before extinguishing her cigarette on the reporter’s cheek.

Charming indeed. We’re glad to hear that Alex is okay, after being quoted saying it left a bit of a red mark which has gone already.

“It certainly wasn’t something I was expecting when you’re doing your job,” Alex told the Australian Daily Mail.
She said the woman had blown cigarette smoke at reporters and a male friend had been barking like a dog at the press.

Watch the scene as it was caught on 9 News Brisbane.
