Ryan Lochte Side Steps Attack on DWTS Premiere - Watch The Vid!

Ryan Lochte barely side stepped an attack on him and his pro partner Cheryl Burke on Dancing with the Stars tonight during the season premiere.

During judge Carrie Ann Inaba‘s critique, an audience member rushed the stage and attempted to attack Ryan.

The camera remained on Carrie Ann, who repeatedly told the attacker to back off while he was tackled by security. The show went straight to a commercial but when they returned Ryan opened up about the experience.

“So many feelings going through my head right now. A little hurt,” he explained.
