A man has been arrested on live television as a journalist reported from Queensland Police Headquarters in Brisbane.

The Today Show reporter, Aislin Kriukelis, was interrupted by the crazed man while he was being arrested.  She was updating the 7:30am bulletin on the unrelated story of the suspension of two Queensland police officers.

• Ballarat sex abuse ‘worst in nation’s history’
• These washing machines are fire hazards
• The day Letterman said ‘no’ to Rupert Murdoch

The man yelled in the direction of the camera as he was being wrestled by the officers.

A Queensland Police spokeswoman told Fairfax Media the man went to the headquarters on Friday morning and was aggressive and delirious in the building’s foyer.

The officers were unaware a live cross was taking place as they tried to move him from the foyer to the watch house nearby and the cause of the man’s tantrum is unknown.

After the incident Ms Kriukelis took to social media in relief:
