The incident occurred at NBC's Today show studios in New York on Thursday, when a man allegedly slipped past security while searching for a specific host.
According to reports, the individual was unable to locate Al Roker and then lunged at co-host Craig Melvin, shouting a racial slur.
Security detained the man immediately, and fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
The hosts quickly returned to the air, and the show continued with minimal disruption.
NBC Universal has since released a statement regarding the incident, but details are still scarce.
