A member of a crowd cheering at the 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump threw a cell phone at him.
Trump was going offstage after addressing a crowd at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania when a crowd member threw a cell phone towards him.
A video posted by the Daily Mail Online, showed the phone hitting the ground and Trump's bodyguard quickly intervened throwing it away.
However, it has not been established who the person behind the action was.
Republican candidate Trump, who survived two assassination attempts this year, has vowed to seal the border and has proposed tax cuts worth trillions.
This is even as Americans cast their ballots in the presidential race between Republican nominee former President Trump and Democratic nominee Vice-President Kamala Harris.
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris held multiple events on the final night of US election campaigning, with polls suggesting the race to be president is historically close.
Harris, who became the Democratic Party candidate after President Joe Biden exited the race, has advocated for abortion rights and pledged to lower food and housing costs for working families.
Ahead of Election Day, tens of millions of voters have taken part in early voting events across the US.
The winner will serve a term of four years in the White House, starting in January 2025.
On the world stage, the US leader has considerable freedom to represent the country abroad.
Within the US, the president has the power to pass some laws on their own but he or she must mostly work with Congress to pass legislation.
Former president Donald Trump is representing the Republican Party. He won the party's support with a massive lead over his rivals.
Trump chose Ohio senator JD Vance to be his vice-presidential running mate.
Kamala Harris, the current vice president, is the candidate for the Democratic Party. She joined the race after President Joe Biden dropped out and no other Democrats stood against her.
Her running mate for vice president is Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
There are also some independent candidates running for president. One of the most prominent was Robert F Kennedy Jr, but he suspended his campaign in August and backed Trump.
