Pro-Palestinian Radical Breaches Trump Secret Service Perimeter
During a recent visit to the Bronx, former President Donald Trump encountered a protestor who breached security while waving a Palestinian flag and shouting “Free Palestine.” The incident occurred while Trump was at the “Knockout Barber Shop” for a meet-and-greet ahead of a charity event. The protestor attempted to ignite an Israeli flag but failed. He was quickly subdued and arrested by police, continuing to shout during the altercation. Despite the disruption, Trump spent about an hour at the barber shop, where barbers sported “Make Barbers Great Again” shirts, and he reportedly interacted kindly with attendees. Social media captured the atmosphere, showcasing smiling patrons and barbers during the visit. Claims arose on social media that Trump had received a haircut during his time there, though this has not been confirmed.
A protester breached the security perimeter as former President Donald Trump visited the Bronx Thursday.
Trump was visiting the “Knockout Barber Shop” for a private meet-and-greet before attending the Al Smith charity dinner in Manhattan, New York, that evening, cable news outlet News12 Bronx reported.
During Trump’s visit to the shop, a bearded protester on a bicycle broke the Secret Service and police perimeter, while waving a Palestinian flag.
“Free Palestine,” he shouted.
He then yelled profanities as he tried to set fire to an Israel Defense Forces flag he was holding, but his lighter failed to spark.
An officer quickly slapped handcuffs on the man, who continued shouting in protest.
The cameraman asked the demonstrator how he broke through the perimeter, but he didn’t answer.
Instead, he continued swearing and even screamed directly into an officer’s face.
“Nobody is supposed to be doing this, you are all out of order. International Court of Law,” he said, before speaking something in Arabic.
