Lochte has been embroiled in scandal after he admitted he “over-exaggerated” a tale about being robbed and held at gunpoint with three other swimmers after a party during the Rio Olympics.
The Los Angeles Police Department said two Los Angeles men in their 40s were arrested for trespassing.
Lochte was among four USA swimmers that initially claimed they had been robbed at gunpoint when returning to the Olympic Village before closed circuit television footage emerged of the men vandalising a petrol station following a night out.
Two men stormed onto the dancefloor after Lochte, banned for 10 months by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and USA Swimming after he fabricated a robbery story during last month’s Games, had performed with partner Cheryl Burke. Lochte says he feels “a little hurt” after bei.
ABC News reporter Jason Nathanson showed a photo on Twitter of two men in anti-Lochte T-shirts in handcuffs.
“We had to go to break because we had a little incident”, he said, although he didn’t clarify any further.
He added that he hopes the protest sheds light on Lochte and that “he should not be rewarded” for lying in Rio.
Bergeron also explained that the show has a very good security system for people attending the live shows, as bags are checked and there are metal detectors to ensure the safety of the people in attendance.
Here are pictures of the encounter on the show.
Cheryl Burke is stepping up in support of her “Dancing With the Stars” partner Ryan Lochte, after the Olympic swimmer was ambushed by protesters on Monday night.
The two men rushed the dance floor.
“So many feelings are going through my head right now”, said the Olympic swimmer. Protesters were also later seen being loaded into a police auto outside the “Dancing with the Stars” studio.
Bergeron said he was impressed by how security handled the situation so swiftly, making sure all cast and audience members were safe.
The two men were removed from the dance floor.
“It was really unnerving, and again, I applaud our security team for making it very short”, Bergeron said on “GMA”.

The video also showed at least four others in the audience wearing anti-Lochte shirts.
