Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump is no stranger to protesters at his campaign events. In fact, they have become a staple of many of his rallies as he makes his way across the U.S.

But on Monday night, he told a Nevada crowd exactly what he thought of one of them.

"I'd like to punch him in the face," Trump said as security guards escorted a protester out the door at an event at the South Point Arena in Las Vegas.

Trump claims the man was throwing punches on his way out the door, though it is unclear if that was actually the case.

"You know what I hate? There's a guy — totally disruptive, throwing punches; we're not allowed to punch back anymore," Trump said. "I love the old days, you know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? They'd be carried out in a stretcher, folks."

Trump also applauded the security guards for their fast response.

"They walk him out, you know, the guards are very gentle with him and he's walking out like with big 'High Fives' and smiling, laughing — I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell ya," Trump said.

The man was not the only protester in the crowd. Two other people interrupted his speech. There was also someone standing behind him at the beginning of the speech holding a sign that read: "Veterans to Mr. Trump: End hate speech about Muslims."

Protesters weren't the only ones drawing the billionaire businessman's wrath during the Monday night rally. He also attacked Republican rival Sen. Ted Cruz, calling him "sick" for attack ads he has run against Trump.

"This guy is sick. There's something wrong with this guy," Trump said.
