Man Tries To Commit Suicide Live On ‘Today’ Show (Video)

Today Show Suicide Attempt

A deranged man tried to commit suicide on live television in front of Rockefeller Plaza by cutting himself and slitting his wrists but was tackled by security.

Matt Lauer along with the rest of the Today show team were outside as usual when what was described as an elderly Asian man, began cutting himself with a box cutter. The man made no attempt to harm anyone else but was subsequently tackled by security then attended by NYPD and first-responders.

Matt Lauer visibly shaken by the incident described the scene from inside the studio: “A short time ago, a man out there attempted to harm himself with a knife. He did manage to cut himself. He was controlled by our security team out there. However, he did harm himself in some way. And so he’s now being attended to by medical personnel”
