July 16 (UPI) -- A man allegedly breached the Today show set Thursday in New York, lunged at anchor Craig Melvin and shouted a racial slur.
The "disorderly person" managed to slip past security at 30 Rockefeller Center. He was arrested about 9 a.m., the New York Police Department said.
The man hasn't been identified. He was able to access a restricted area in the studio while allegedly looking for Al Roker. He then set his sights on Melvin, 47.
Today show hosts didn't address the incident on air.
