A Joy News journalist, Sally Martey, was assaulted while covering unrest at a polling station, according to footage released by the outlet.
The video shows a partially masked man striking Martey with his hand and shoving her from behind as she reported from the scene. The identity of the attacker remains unclear, and it is not known whether he was linked to security forces or political groups present at the location.
The incident highlights mounting risks for journalists covering public events in Ghana, where multiple reporters have recently faced harassment and physical attacks. Press freedom advocates have urged authorities to identify and hold accountable those responsible for the assault.
