The Norwegian was back on the track this morning after narrowly missing out on a medal in the 1500m last night.
Ingebrigtsen was involved in a chaotic second heat of the men’s 5000m.
With just a few minutes to go until the final lap, the runner tried to overtake his rivals on the outside.
But the 23-year-old was nearly wiped out by a rogue cameraman casually strolling across the track.
The man bizarrely took a terrible moment to make his way to the field events and somehow all athletes managed to avoid him.
But Ingebrigtsen was furious and gave the cameraman a death stare as he turned around and gestured at him.
Despite the unexpected obstacle, he was able to recover and win the heat.
But that was not the only chaotic moment in the race after Team GB star George Mills had a huge bust-up with France’s Hugo Hay.

Mills, who is the son of ex-England player Danny, was tripped up and fell to the ground along with four of fellow runners.
The stumble took him from eight place to 18th and seemingly cost him his Olympic dream.
Mills angrily confronted Hay moments after crossing the line, giving him a push and appearing to tell him to “f**k off”.
Following an investigation from officials, the 25-year-old was allowed to advance to the next round.
Reflecting on the incident, Mills said: “I mean I think it’s pretty clear, I got stepped out on.
“I was about to kick on in the home straight and boom. The French lad took me down.”
When asked what he said to the Hay, he replied: “I’m probably not allowed to say.”
