A secret service agent rushed to protect Donald Trump from a cellphone being thrown at him during a Pennsylvania rally.
Shocking video captured the moment a crowd member threw the device in front of the Republican nominee, as he walked off the Allentown stage this week.
Trump was seemingly unfazed and continued walking forward, waving at the cheering crowd and giving them a thumbs up.
But, one of his secret service agents sprung into action and quickly ran towards the phone and kicked it away from the candidate.
The agent kept walking forward and appeared to be pointing at the phone he just kicked.
A secret service member quickly reacted by kicking the phone away and pointing to it.
No one was harmed.
Trump visited Allentown, a predominately Latino community - shortly after receiving backlash 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 redeeming appeal to Latino voters.
'Nobody 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 asserted.
'I will deliver the best future for Puerto Ricans and for Hispanic Americans.'
He called several Latino supporters to the stage, including Senator Marco Rubio.
The cellphone 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 bloodied ear while he was speaking at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally.
The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot dead soon after he fired the shot, which killed an attendee and left two others seriously injured.
While playing golf at his West Palm Beach golf club, Trump was rushed to safety after several gunshots were fired in his vicinity.
The gunman, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly aimed a an AK-47 rifle barrel towards Trump.
On October 12, a man outside of a campaign rally in Coachella, California was arrested after security found he was carrying several weapons.
