An Arsenal supporter has reportedly been sacked by his employers after questioning a female reporter for hitting back at fans who rudely interrupted her broadcast.

Following the MLS match between Toronto FC and Houston Dynamo, Canada's City News reporter Shauna Hunt asked fans for their thoughts on the home side's 2-1 defeat on Monday.

During the broadcast, one fan interrupted her by saying, "fuck her in the pussy," to which Hunt reacted by claiming: "I'm sick of this, I get this every single day, 10 times a day, by rude guys like you! When you talk into my microphone and say that into my camera to viewers at the station where I work at, it's disrespectful and degrading to me."

An Arsenal fan, who has been now been named as Shawn Simoes, said: "We're not the only people. It happened in England. You're lucky there's not a fucking vibrator in your ear like in England, because it happens all the time."

According to the Toronto Star, Mr Simoes, who is said to have earned around £53,000 last year for his work as assistant network management engineer for company Hydro One, has now been sacked for his involvement in the incident.
