How Mariska Hargitay, Willie Geist saved two disabled pedestrians during NBC interview, and the ‘SVU’ star even fixed a wheelchair on the spot

Cameras were there, but it wasn’t a TV act.

“Today” show anchor Willie Geist and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” star Mariska Hargitay provided a helping hand to two disabled pedestrians trying to cross the street in NYC.

We hear the incidents occurred near a Manhattan courthouse where Geist was interviewing the “SVU” star for “Sunday Today” just before Thanksgiving.

An eyewitness described it all as, “like an episode of ‘Law & Order.'”

It all started when Geist was standing on the corner awaiting Hargitay’s arrival.

“A woman with a cane fell in the middle of the crosswalk, and Willie helped her up and walked her,” across the street, the source told Page Six.

Hargitay arrived moments later, only for another pedestrian to fall!

This time, a man in an electric wheelchair, “lost control when the wheel fell off,” according to our spy.

“Mariska and Willie rushed to his aid, and the cameraman, too. Willie and the guy with the camera hoisted the man up in his chair while Mariska fixed the wheel,” the source said.

A “Today” spokesperson confirmed the incident.

The rep further explained that Geist and Hargitay were at the court, a regular location for “SVU,” to conduct an interview airing Jan. 12, 2025.

Season 26 of NBC’s police crime drama premiered in October, and will return on Jan. 16.

Hargitray has portrayed Captain Olivia Benson for all 26 seasons, making her the longest-running live-action character in TV history.
