New safety measures could be installed on the set of Dancing With The Stars after Ryan Lochte was nearly attacked during Monday’s live premiere.
Two men wearing anti-Lochte T-shirts – identified by Los Angeles policeas Sam Satoodeh, 59, and Barzeen Soroundi, 25 – rushed the stage after the Olympic gold medalist swimmer’s performance. According to the Associated Press, the men were arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor trespassing and held on $1,000 bail apiece.
“The safety and security of our cast, crew and studio audience is of utmost importance,” a BBC Worldwide Productions spokesperson said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports.
