The man accused of a hate crime when he approached "Today" co-host Craig Melvin at NBC's Manhattan studio has a criminal record spanning at least two decades, with charges including attempted kidnapping and trespassing, according to court records.
New York City police arrested Andrew Truelove, 41, last week after NBC says he snuck into a vestibule near Studio 1A in Rockefeller Center and approached Melvin.
A review of footage from the show reveals a man resembling Truelove and wearing similar clothing was pictured in the background as early as 8:03 a.m. the day of the incident.
At 8:05 a.m., the man in the background took off a backpack and appeared to place it in or behind a bush outside the building.
