CAITRIONA PERRY WAS reporting on RTÉ Nine News live from a windy New York when she was attacked by a rogue piece of what appears to be camera equipment.

The Washington Correspondent had to cut back to the studio after a large black screen JUST missed her.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Don’t worry, she came back shortly after, she’s JUST FINE.

KEEP SAFE PERRY.
