Australian sports commentator Steve Robilliard was attacked with a broken chair near his hotel in Beijing.
Respected Australian sports commentator Steve Robilliard was chased and attacked near his Beijing hotel as millions enjoyed last night's Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. Robilliard, an ABC netball commentator for almost 20 years, said he was on his way back from a shop near the Hubei Hotel in the Haidian district when he was set upon about 2200 local time (0000 AEST).Robilliard said,
I just walked to the shop and I walked past a group of youths and one of them, I guess he was drunk, he had his shirt off and was urinating on a wall. This guy just started running at me. I kept running ... and then he threw a broken stool at me. I put my hands up to defend myself and got a small cut. It was really unexpected because up until then I had felt really safe.
