A CBC TV reporter who was licked by a man while reporting live in Toronto has complained to police about the incident.
CBC reporter Chris Glover is seen on a leader's bus during the Ontario election campaign on Sunday May 20, 2018. Last Updated Wednesday, February 27, 2019 5:18PM EST
The man, identified as Boyd Banks -- who has appeared on CBC shows -- proceeds to demonstratively lick Glover's ear and kiss his neck while the journalist continues speaking to camera, before throwing it back to the studio with the line: While some observers argued the actions amounted to an assault or sexual assault, Glover told The Canadian Press he would leave it up to police to make that determination. What's certain, he said, was how the incident made him feel.
Gary Rideout, owner of the Comedy Bar, said Banks was a regular visitor, though not as a performer. He said Banks was now barred from the venue for "displaying reprehensible behaviour that I can't condone in any way."
