According to reports in Independent.co.uk, the feminist protests were triggered by allegations that two teenage girls were raped by a group of policemen. The demonstrations have become known as the "glitter protests" after marchers doused the city's police chief in pink glitter.
While in another protest footage shared on social media, news presenter, Melissa del Pozo de Milenio, of the Milenio Televisión network also appears to be attacked by protesters. The journalist can be seen struggling with a woman dressed in black who has her face covered.
Following the incidents of attacking journalists, Mexico City mayor, Claudia Sheinbaum, the first woman elected to head the city's government, tweeted the attorney general's office of the metropolis will investigate and arrest those who attacked journalists.
