Protesters rush Ryan Lochte during 'Dancing With the Stars' performance

Two protesters rushed the stage Monday night during Ryan Lochte's performance on "Dancing With the Stars." Lochte was not hurt.

The men were quickly detained, according to reports. Cameras didn't capture the men's rush to the stage, but did show judge Carrie Ann Inaba worriedly say, "Excuse me!" as the situation unfolded.

It began when someone jumped down to the stage and tried to “knock [Lochte] down” before security stopped them, The Washington Post reported.

The protesters had “Lochte” crossed out on their shirts, according to Entertainment Weekly. ABC News Radio correspondent Jason Nathanson later tweeted a picture of the two men in custody.
