The Donald is rushed off the stage by Secret Service while speaking during Reno rally after a 'Republicans against Trump' protester causes chaos in the crowd over fears he had a gun


Secret Service agents rushed Donald Trump offstage on Saturday evening during a rally in Reno, Nevada, believing a protester in the audience posed a threat to the Republican presidential candidate. 'Go! Go!' agents shouted as they dragged him away while a combination of local police and private security wrestled a man at the front of the crowd to the ground. A spectator is believed to have shouted 'gun' in the middle of The Donald's speech, causing a panic near the stage. A sea of bodies scattered, screams rang out and authorities dragged the man away as he kicked and restrained. After the confusion the man, who has been identified as Austyn Crites, was questioned and released, after agents found he wasn't carrying a gun. His social media accounts suggested he was part of a group called 'Nevada Republicans Proudly Voting for Secretary Clinton'. Trump was back on stage finishing his speech just minutes after he was whisked away. He then thanked the Secret Service in a statement as he headed to the next campaign stop in Denver, Colorado.
