Watching MSNBC's Hardball minutes ago, it appeared that one or more rowdies stormed the outdoor stage and barely missed taking out host Chris Matthews.

The last scene was of a suited security guard chasing after the set-stormers, with more than one person crashing off the stage.

Matthews threw the microphone over to Campbell Brown who was inside Madison Square Garden.

MORE: Directors turned the camera back to Matthews, who didn't say what happened, but went to a commercial advising viewers they were watching "very live" coverage.

MORE: Drudge is reporting that Matthews was "attacked." Didn't appear the guy even touched him.
