TV Footage Shows Gustavo Salcedo Assaulting Producer Christian Rodríguez in Lima

Rodríguez is submitting evidence to Dirincri after the broadcast, intensifying scrutiny of Salcedo’s on‑air “bien merecido” remark.

Overview

  • América Hoy aired security‑camera videos from September 26 showing Salcedo’s SUV colliding with Rodríguez’s vehicle before he shoved him to the ground and kicked him several times outside a notary.
  • Rodríguez’s wife tried to intervene, and Salcedo then drove away, leaving the producer visibly injured in the street, according to the broadcasts.
  • Rodríguez identified Salcedo—the husband of TV host Maju Mantilla—as his aggressor in initial recordings shared by media.
  • Trome reports that Rodríguez is appearing at Dirincri with audiovisual material and other documentation as part of a formal complaint.
  • Outlets differ on the precise district of the incident, citing San Isidro and San Borja, and Mantilla has not made a public statement.
