The incident at the event in Tucson, Arizona, was the latest in a series involving scenes of violence at and around events for the Republican frontrunner.
There were around 150 police officers working at the Trump event in Tucson on Saturday night.
Trump was interrupted several times during the first 20 minutes or so of the rally by protesters, who the candidate called "disgusting," "troublemakers" and a "disgrace."

Bryan Sanders was one of the protesters — dressed in an American flag shirt and holding a sign with Trump's face with the slogan "Bad for America."
He told NBC News that he was being escorted out of the rally when a man in the stands grabbed his sign and ripped it out of his hands.
"I stumble back, sucker punch.. and then you saw all hell break loose," Sanders said. "He's stomping me.

Video emerged of the incident that shows Sanders being punched and kicked on the ground before police are able to separate the two men.
"What was going through my mind was: Put your arms over your head, because this political movement has gotten to the point where you may get beat to death inside of a rally," Sanders said of the moments he was on the ground.
Officers arrested Tony Pettway, 32, at the scene. He was charged him with assault with injury, a class 1 misdemeanor, and released, police said.
I agree. In my opinion, it's a series od actions organise to give Trump black PR and associate him with aggressiveness and racism.
Some of you are too funny. Even IF such an idiot held a ballot in his hands, showing everybody he voted for Trump, threw it into the box, y'all would be saying: he probably fished it out right after and voted for Hilary instead
It's just gonna get worse if he wins. The KKK is already gearing up to make their return. They've made the news more in the last few months than I've seen in a while and it's all bc they think Trump is their savior or something.
they go there to get a reaction. they're more radical than any trump supporter.
