Secret Service swarm Trump at Ohio rally

Donald Trump was swarmed by four secret service agents on stage during a rally in Vandalia, Ohio, on Saturday morning after an apparent security breach.

The Republican frontrunner looked momentarily panicked and moved quickly away from the lectern as four agents rushed him and created a circle around him. The breach was reportedly from an unidentified man who tried to get through the security barrier.

“I was ready for him, but it’s much easier if the cops do it, don’t we agree?” Trump later told the crowd. The rest of the rally proceeded without incident.

Trump's rallies have gotten increasingly violent in recent days, with clashes between Trump's supporters and protesters. The real estate mogul's rally in Chicago on Friday night had to be canceled due to the chaos at the scene.
