Death threat

Jerome was reporting for the main evening news when shouting could be heard coming from behind him. A man wearing a brown hoodie approached Jerome and pulled up his hood. "I'll blow your fucking head off", the man shouted. The man continued to make a gun shape with his hand at Jerome's face and said, "Ya fuckin' muppet" before it cuts back to the studio.[6][7] There were fears for Jerome's life while the Irish Daily Star and his local radio station Highland Radio reported on the incident.[8]
