Video shows NBC News reporter accosted by angry man while reporting live on Hurricane Ida

• NBC News correspondent Shaquille Brewster faced a scary encounter when reporting on Hurricane Ida.
• A man pulled up in a pickup truck and harassed Brewster and his crew.
• Brewster later confirmed he and his team were okay.

NBC News' Shaquille Brewster was harassed on Monday morning by a man who jumped out of a pickup to yell at Brewster and his crew as they reported live on Hurricane Ida.

Brewster, a correspondent, was reporting on the hurricane from the shore in Gulfport, Mississippi. The hurricane made landfall in Louisiana over the weekend.

Brewster was reporting live during the 11 a.m. hour, explaining how mail delivery had continued as normal, when a white pickup truck pulled up behind him.

A man ran from the truck and accosted Brewster, who took the interruption in stride and moved away to continue his report.

While it was hard to discern what the man was saying, he could be heard yelling about "accuracy."

While Brewster tried to continue reporting, the man harassed and yelled at Brewster's camera crew.

"Craig, I'm going to toss it back to you," Brewster said before the man could be seen getting close to Brewster and shoving him.

"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," said Craig Melvin, the MSNBC host anchoring the network's news for the hour.

After interviewing Rep. Troy Carter of Louisiana, Melvin told viewers that Brewster was okay.

"You probably saw or heard a few moments ago one of our correspondents was disrupted by some wacky guy during his live shot there in Mississippi - pleased to report that Shaquille Brewster is doing just fine. Shaq is okay," Melvin said.

Brewster also confirmed on Twitter that he and his crew were all right following the incident. He thanked colleagues and other concerned reporters for their messages of support.

"Shaq Brewster is an exceptional journalist," Rashida Jones, MSNBC's president, said in a statement. "Like the consummate professional he is, 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."
