A 25-year-old man has been charged with stalking television personality Ryan Seacrest.

A statement from the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said Chidi Benjamin Uzomah would be arraigned on Tuesday (US time) on felony charges of stalking Seacrest during September and October.

Uzomah was arrested last Friday at a television studio in Beverly Hills where Seacrest records a daily entertainment show.

The alleged stalker pleaded guilty in September to attacking Seacrest's security guard and was ordered to stay away from the television personality.

Uzomah is also alleged to have appeared at the offices of a Los Angeles radio station on October 2 looking for Seacrest.

If convicted, he faces up to four years in state prison.
