In a video live streamed on social media, veteran television reporter Robart Ovadia ois approached by a man as he covers the protests at Victoria Park at Chippendale in Sydney's inner-west on Saturday.
The man begins by asking Ovadia whether he's a member of the media and who he works for, as the reported focuses on his phone.
'Are you one of us, brother? You're not with the media are you?'
Mr Ovadia initially attempted to ignore the attention of the protestors by looking at his phone

Mr Ovadia then confirmed he's a journalist covering the protest for Channel Seven.
'Channels Seven's here, boys!' the man shouts, as more protesters approach Mr Ovadia.
'Youse are f***ing liars, youse are cheats, you are lying to Australia,' the man behind the camera tells Mr Ovadia.
