KVVU reporter Molly McBride is OK after being accosted live on-air by a man who wanted a dollar.
McBride had just started her standup about recent shootings in the area, when the man came running from behind asking for a dollar. He kept repeating the request until the camera panned off McBride and the Las Vegas Fox affiliate’s anchors moved on.
News director Tom Bell told TVSpy, the man “briefly made contact with her then ran off.”
“Molly was not hurt, just startled. The incident occurred in seconds. She said when she looked back at the tape, it looked scarier than it was in real life,” said Bell. “When she returned to the station, she was more focused on and appreciative of how concerned we were about her, vs the actual encounter.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Yet when the protected class known as media is confronted, it is shown as horrible with most who are accosted seeking PTSD treatment.
Sounds like Las Vegas needs a Mayor and a Police Force too
Quite an Irish lass, she is.
Accosted by diversity!
There was an episode of Sanford and Son many years ago. Fred puts a quarter in the fountain for luck. He goes to the casino, starts winning big, then loses everything. At the end of the episode, he’s in the fountain looking for his quarter.
I was on a business trip in Philly back in ‘03 with a group of co-workers. Some guy chased us for two blocks asking for fifteen cents.
We sure have a lot of weirdos in our society.
$1? At least he wasn’t expensive.
Because someone was going to post it.
If she wants to show it on the Streets of Las Vegas, she’ll GET the Streets of Las Vegas in return. She needs to use Green Screen if she doesn’t bring bodyguards.
Further proof we need to re-open the asylums. We can afford the money. Quit pissing it away on less important stuff.
He’s the next who needs to be deported.
Foreign accent.
They always want a dollar. They will approach me outside our Ghetto Target and demand a dollar “so they can ride the bus.” I’m all, “A dollar won’t get you a bus ride.”
Wow. We have homeless here but I’ve never been approached. I give a few bucks to one regular here in a wheelchair with no legs below mid-thigh.
Two dollars!!!!
I yelled at one of them and told him, “Don’t you EVER approach a woman in a dark parking lot!” He backed off and apologized.
