KVVU reporter Molly McBride is OK after being accosted live on-air by a man who wanted a dollar.
McBride had just started her standup about recent shootings in the area, when the man came running from behind asking for a dollar. He kept repeating the request until the camera panned off McBride and the Las Vegas Fox affiliate’s anchors moved on.
News director Tom Bell told TVSpy, the man “briefly made contact with her then ran off.”
“Molly was not hurt, just startled. The incident occurred in seconds. She said when she looked back at the tape, it looked scarier than it was in real life,” said Bell. “When she returned to the station, she was more focused on and appreciative of how concerned we were about her, vs the actual encounter.”
A Reddit user initially posted video of the incident. Click here to view.
