Ryan Seacrest's alleged stalker had some ominous words about his trip to E! last week.
Law enforcement sources tell us, during their interview with Chidi Uzomah, he told cops, "I felt like I was meant to see someone."
One law enforcement source says Uzomah shows signs of early schizophrenia, which often emerges in people around Uzomah's age -- 25.
Uzomah -- who showed up with a knife at the E! building where Ryan was doing his radio show -- is currently being held on $150,000 bail on felony stalking and other charges.

Ryan Seacrest's lawyers aren't taking any chances -- they just got a temporary restraining order against the alleged stalker who was arrested at the E! building today.
Under the terms of the restraining order, filed by Ryan's lawyer Blair Berk, Chidi Uzomah is ordered to stay 100 yards away from Ryan. Uzomah must stay clear of Ryan's home, job, vehicle. He can have no contact -- either direct or indirect -- with Seacrest.
We're told Seacrest's people fear Uzomah is a real danger. We're hearing Ryan's lawyers moved quickly so LAPD Threat Management detectives could serve Uzomah with the TRO while he's still being interrogated at the jail. As we first reported, Uzomah is being held on felony stalking.
Chidi was convicted of three misdemeanors last month after attacking Ryan's bodyguard at a hospital in Orange County. He had a knife in his pocket. Uzomah pled guilty to three misdemeanors and was placed on probation. One term of probation -- stay away from Ryan. The D.A. is now considering whether to ask the judge to violate Uzomah's probation.
Uzomah was taken into custody earlier today ... moments after showing up to the E! building in Los Angeles with a knife. He also showed up at a radio station in Burbank earlier this month, looking for Ryan.

TMZ has learned Chidi Uzomah -- the man who showed up with a knife to see Ryan Seacrest at work today -- is now being held on felony stalking charges, and that gives Ryan some breathing room.
Law enforcement sources tell us the LAPD has decided Uzomah is a real danger to Seacrest. By holding him on felony stalking, cops have some breathing room to hold Uzomah in custody ... mainly because he was caught with a knife.

TMZ just got video of Ryan Seacrest's alleged stalker being taken to the LAPD station for booking.
Chidi Uzomah was arrested at 9:40 AM PT today, after showing up at the E! offices, where Ryan was working.
Uzomah had a knife on him when he showed up.
Uzomah was convicted last month of battery and two other misdemeanors after assaulting one of Seacrest's security guards outside an O.C. hospital. The judge placed him on 3 years probation and ordered him to stay away from Ryan.

A man with a knife has been charged with a crime after allegedly attacking Ryan Seacrest's security guard.
It happened outside the Children's Hospital in Orange County earlier this week. Ryan had just finished making an appearance. The alleged attacker -- Chidi Uzomah -- approached Ryan and asked for an autograph. Ryan obliged and then walked to his car.
We're told Uzomah got in between Ryan and his car. The security guard tried blocking Uzomah and then Uzomah allegedly began choking the guard and fighting him.
Uzomah -- who is 25 years old, 6'4" and 200 lbs -- was subdued and arrested. Cops found a switchblade knife on him.
Uzomah will be charged by the O.C. D.A. with assault and battery and possession of a switchblade.
Uzomah is being held on $25,000 bail.

No mistake in the headline -- it really is Clark Gable ... the Third.
Clark Gable III -- the grandson of Hollywood's most famous actor ever -- was stabbed in the rib cage at a house party near Los Angeles.
It all went down in Calabasas last month -- we're told CG3 got into it with some guests after he allegedly called somebody a very bad name. A fight broke out and someone plunged a knife into Gable -- who looks remarkably like his granddad.
We're told Gable suffered lung damage and spent a week in the hospital. Judging by the "thumbs up" from the picture, he's doing just fine.
One person has been arrested and authorities are looking for another suspect.
Tomorrow is another day...

Manson has decided to up his scary factor by adding a huge butcher knife to the end of his microphone. The dope show!
Marilyn, 38, kicked off his tour in Madrid yesterday, where fans got a slice of crazy from the drag rocker. The only scarier thing he could do would be to remove his makeup.
