Man confronts NBC News' Shaquille Brewster on live TV during Ida coverage

Before the confrontation, a family had been strolling on the beach with dogs, so Brewster initially believed pets — not the man from the pickup truck — were rushing up to him from behind.

The man was moved off-camera for a few seconds when Brewster had the camera shift to another angle, and an NBC News producer intercepted the charging heckler.

Brewster used his forearm to shield himself as the man walked back up to him and incoherently rambled "report accurately!" before the producer and the photographer were able to separate the men. The heckler then left.

MSNBC President Rashida Jones praised Brewster as a "consummate professional" who kept his cool and wouldn't be intimidated.
