Craig Melvin puts on brave face on ‘Today’ show after intruder scare: ‘Safe and sound’

Craig Melvin assured “Today” show viewers he is “safe and sound” after Thursday’s terrifying security breach.

“I want to take a quick moment to address an incident that happened yesterday,” the journalist said on Friday morning. “You may have heard that unfortunately an intruder made his way into an unauthorized area here at Studio 1A.

“Thankfully he was apprehended quickly,” Melvin, 47, continued. “He was placed under arrest. We are cooperating fully with the NYPD as they investigate the matter.”

The co-anchor concluded by saying, “We are just very happy that everyone is safe.”

His colleague replied, “We want to make sure you are safe,” to which Melvin confirmed he is “safe and sound.”

The NBC personality initially addressed the matter via Instagram, writing, “Hey everyone. I’ve heard from so many of you over the last few hours. I’m doing just fine.”

He added, “Thanks for reaching out. I’m looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning on @todayshow.”

The man who confronted Melvin in a stairway at the New York City headquarters — seeking weatherman Al Roker — has been identified as 41-year-old Andrew Truelove.

He was taken into custody Thursday, and Page Six hears a security guard was fired over the incident.
