Donald Trump walked off stage and an audience member threw a cell phone at him

A Secret Service agent rushed to protect Donald Trump from a cell phone that was thrown at him at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Shocking video captured the moment a crowd member threw the device in front of the Republican candidate as he exited the Allentown stage on Tuesday.

Trump was apparently unfazed and continued walking forward, waving to the cheering crowd and giving him a thumbs up.

Meanwhile, one of his secret service agents sprang into action and quickly ran over to the phone and away from the candidate.

The officer continued walking forward and appeared to be aiming for the phone he had just kicked.

No one was injured, according to the video.

Trump visited Allentown, a predominantly Latino community, shortly after coming under fire for comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s comments about Puerto Rico at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

The city is 54 percent Latino or Hispanic, according to government data. Trump took the opportunity to make a redemptive appeal to Latino voters.

‘No one loves our Latino community and our Puerto Rican community more than I do. “It’s interesting because I’ve done more for Puerto Rico than any president by far,” Trump said.

“I will offer the best future to Puerto Ricans and Hispanic Americans.”

He called several Latino supporters to the stage, including Senator Marco Rubio.

Outside Trump’s rally, a group of Latino protesters marched and chanted in protest of the former president’s event.

The cell phone-throwing incident comes after two assassination attempts on Trump, which have left his security team on high alert.

On July 13, the first act of violence against Trump left the former president with a bloody ear as he spoke at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot dead shortly after firing the shot, which killed an attendant and left two others seriously injured.

While playing at his West Palm Beach golf club, Trump was rushed to safety after several shots were fired nearby.

The gunman, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly pointed the barrel of an AK-47 rifle at Trump.

On October 12, a man outside a campaign rally in Coachella, California, was arrested after security officers discovered he was carrying several weapons.

A crowd of thousands of fans cheered Trump at the rally.

Vem Miller, 49, displayed false VIP credentials and illegally possessed a shotgun, a loaded handgun and a high-capacity magazine in his car.

Local authorities claimed the incident was “probably” a third attempt to harm or kill Trump, but he ultimately emerged unharmed.

‘This incident did not affect the safety of former President Trump or those attending the event,’ the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office insisted in a statement.
