A female news reporter was pelted with missiles and shoved by female protesters and a male anchor was knocked unconscious live on air from a horrific punch whilst reporting on the march in Mexico City.

Feminist protests are becoming increasingly popular in Mexico City following an increase in sexual violence and the alleged rape of two teenage girls by a gang of policemen.

Shocking footage shows Juan Manuel, a reporter from the ADN 40 network, nervously speaking to the camera as two women yell at him.

One woman appears to throw something in his direction.

Juan says: "[The protesters] are throwing things at people who are trying to help them through different ways, the media."

One woman, holding the hand of a young girl, shouts into the reporter's microphone: "Yo si te creo," which roughly translates to "I believe you."



UNACCEPTABLE VIOLENCE

Juan can be heard saying in Spanish: "The whole world believes women, the whole world believes [these] women."

The Sun Online understands he then tells his camera operator: "Right now they are very angry.

"I'm going to move to a different location."

At this point, a man wearing a baseball cap and a white shirt sidles up beside the reporter, before landing a brutal punch to the side of his jaw.

None of the protesters try to stop the attacker as he calmly walks away and Juan's colleagues rush to help him as he lays unconscious on the floor.

Further footage shared of the protest online appears to show a group of female activists attacking another news anchor, Melissa del Pozo de Milenio of the Milenio Televisión network.

Melissa screams as a group of women descend on her, shaky footage shows.

The anchor wrestles with a woman dressed in black, her face covered with a mask.

The camera then pans to show two women who appear to be stabbing a sign with longs knives.

Feminists from all over Mexico came together earlier this week to demand justice for the alleged rape victims.

Mexican officials say suspected police officers have been taken into custody as investigations develop, with one officer arrested Thursday.

Juan Manuel received medical treatment for his injuries and has recovered well.

He tweeted: "Violence will always be unacceptable," following the incident.
