TV reporter Shaquille Brewster was covering the aftermath of Hurricane Ida in Gulfport, Mississippi when a white man got out of his vehicle and began walking towards him while yelling according to Today. Brewster works for NBC News and MSNBC correspondent was giving an update on the area when the pickup truck was seen in the frame of the camera.

The driver then gets out and comes rushing toward the reporter yelling “report accurately.” Brewster attempts to redirect the cameraman so that the man isn’t captured. “I am going to turn this way, because we deal with some people every once in a while,” he told host Craig Melvin. Brewster used his forearm to shield himself as the  man walked back up to him and ranted “report accurately!” The reporter tried to continue the coverage but realizes he cannot and, tells Melvin he’ll toss it back to him while the man continued yelling at crew members.

Melvin then told viewers, “We’re going to check in with Shaq Brewster just to make sure all is well. There’s a lot of crazy out there, a lot of crazy.” Moments later, the Howard University graduate tweeted, “appreciate the concern guys” and that “the team and I are all good!”

Melvin later wrote on social media, “This is beyond unacceptable and disgusting. @shaqbrewster was trying to do his job on a beach in Gulfport, MS. Shaq is ok. This guy who nearly attacked him clearly is not.”

In a statement following the confrontation, MSNBC President Rashida Jones praised Brewster, calling him “an exceptional journalist.” She added, “Like the consummate professional, he did not let someone intimidate him from doing his job. We’re glad he and the team are safe, and we couldn’t be more proud and supportive of their work.”
