Craig Melvin shares first message after disturbing security breach at NBC studio
Craig Melvin, famed as a broadcast journalist and anchor at NBC News, has finally broken his cover after an intruder confronted him on the TODAY’s show set.
On Thursday, the shocking incident occurred after an intruder stormed onto TODAY’s New York City set and asked for meteorologist Al Roker.
When he was unable to find Al Roker, he lunged at anchor Craig while shouting a racial slur.
Hours later the incident took place, Craig took to his Instagram account to reassure his friends and fans about himself.
“Hey everyone. I’ve heard from so many of you over the last few hours. I’m doing just fine. Thanks for reaching out,” Craig shared.
He then revealed he will resume his show on Friday. The anchor noted, “I’m looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning on @todayshow.”
The NBC also released a statement to address the incident, reading, “There was a security incident this morning at the Today show studio.”
“An individual entered an unauthorised area in a vestibule near Studio 1A. The person approached anchor Craig Melvin, who alerted security. The individual was detained and taken into custody by law enforcement without further incident. There was no altercation, and no one was injured.”
The incident reportedly occurred at 9 am after Craig, Al Roker, Dylan Dreyer, and Savannah Guthrie co-hosted the first and third hours of the Today show.
