A man attempted to breach the press area at a Donald Trump rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on Friday, leading police officers to subdue him with a taser. This event occurred amidst increased security measures following last month’s assassination attempt on Trump.
In July, Trump was nearly killed when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Crooks discharged multiple rounds, and one bullet grazed the former president's right ear. The shooting resulted in one attendee's death and two others sustaining serious injuries. The Secret Service ultimately killed Crooks in response to the attack.
Reports indicate that the man managed to scale a bicycle rack surrounding the area where TV reporters and cameras were set up, and began to ascend the back of a platform occupied by the press.
Attendees in the vicinity attempted to pull him off the structure, while police officers effectively subdued him using a taser.
This incident unfolded shortly after Trump criticized the media for what he termed unfavorable coverage of his campaign and alleged bias in favor of his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris.
The crowd reacted positively as police led the man away, with Trump chiming in: “Is there anywhere that’s more fun to be than a Trump rally?”
It remains unclear whether the offender was a supporter or opponent of Trump, as well as the motives behind his actions.
Shortly after this, law enforcement officials detained another individual in the crowd, but it is not known if this arrest was related to the first incident.
