Shock moment TV reporter screams as she is mugged moments before going live on air by motorbike phone snatcher The shocking footage emerged just weeks after a strikingly similar ordeal was caught on camera, which also unfolded in Brazil. Last month, another news reporter became the victim of an attempted mugging just moments before going live on air - with the crime caught on camera. Brazilian journalist Clara Nery was gearing up to appear on camera when a phone robber swept in. The clip of her begins with her typing a message on her phone in the run up to the broadcast. But in the background, a man on a motorbike slowly closes in on her as she continues texting. As he drives past, he tries to swipe her phone straight out of her hand. Nery screams in shock and swears at the man. However, she later confirmed she was able to keep hold of the device as she had a tight grip on it. She said: "I had my back turned when this man rode by on a motorcycle on the sidewalk and tried to take my phone. "In the video, you can see the moment he puts his hand on my phone and takes it from me. "Luckily, I was holding on tightly."

Driver admits killing woman, 22, in 140mph Christmas crash as he fled police
Evan Forde, 32, ploughed into a BMW while tearing through north London streets at more than three times the speed limit - instantly killing 22-year-old Brazilian student Maria Carolina Do Nascimento A driver has admitted to killing a 22-year-old woman in a Christmas Day horror crash after tearing through north London streets at more than 140mph. Evan Forde, 32, was behind the wheel of a Mercedes when he smashed into a BMW on Hendon Way, Brent Cross, at around 3.45am on December 25, 2022. Despite the 40mph speed limit, Forde was caught at more than three times that - a devastating impact that killed passenger Maria Carolina Do Nascimento instantly. The brazilian student died at the scene despite desperate efforts by paramedics to save her. On Tuesday at the Old Bailey, Forde pleaded guilty to causing Ms Nascimento's death by dangerous driving. Shameless hit and run driver who killed pregnant woman's unborn baby jailed Moments before the crash, police in a marked car had signalled for Forde to stop, but he sped off. Scotland Yard said officers did not pursue him. Within minutes, they were told his car had ploughed into another vehicle. Forde and his passengers then fled the wreckage on foot. Ms Nascimento's grieving relatives wept as he admitted the offence in court. Forde's barrister, Tasmin Malcolm, said he had "always accepted" he was driving the Mercedes. She added: "Undoubtedly the speed Mr Forde was driving will be an aggravating feature to the court. It is important we are satisfied of the accuracy of the material relied on by the Crown." Prosecutor Frederick Hookway said small differences in speeds were irrelevant, given the defendant had reached "top speeds of over 140mph". Judge Anthony Leonard KC adjourned sentencing until October 22, granting Forde conditional bail. He told him: "You have pleaded guilty to a very serious charge. There was perhaps no option other than to do so given the state of the evidence. "However, the fact you pleaded at this stage will be taken into account at sentencing. You must understand the most likely result - if not the inevitable result - will be you sent to prison." The Metropolitan Police confirmed it had referred the case to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, which is standard procedure in such circumstances.

She said: 'Undoubtedly the speed Mr Forde was driving will be an aggravating feature to the court. 'It is important we are satisfied of the accuracy of the material relied on by the Crown.'
