Hall of Fame defensive end Michael Strahan had a scary run in on Tuesday morning, narrowly avoiding danger in the form of a knife-wielding man. 

A man armed with a knife demanded to be let into ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday morning, later saying he wanted to kill Strahan, according to the New York Daily News

Security told the man - Andre Johnson - to leave when he demanded to see Strahan, but he returned with a knife and attempted to stab a security guard in a rage. 

"I was there to kill Michael Strahan" Johnson said, according to the Daily News' law enforcement sources.
