Former President Donald Trump has confirmed he is "safe and well" following an apparent assassination attempt at his Florida golf course.
US authorities have confirmed a "potential suspect" is in custody after secret service agents spotted the barrel of rifle poking through bushes roughly 300-500 yards away from the former President.
Witnesses reported seeing the suspect flee the scene, before one witness took a photo of the number plate on his black Nissan car which was later stopped by police.
An AK47-style firearm, scope, two backpacks and a GoPro camera were found at the scene.
In an email to his supporters, President Trump said he was "safe and well" and "nothing will slow me down".
Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, of Palm Beach County, said: "We got a hold of Martin County Sheriff's Office, alerted them, and they spotted the vehicle and pulled it over and detained the guy.
"After that, we took the witness that witnessed the incident, flew him up there and he identified as the person that he saw running out of the bushes, that jumped into the car."
He added that the Secret Service agent that was on the course did a "fantastic job".
"What they do is they have an agent that jumps one hole ahead of time to where the President was at and he was able to spot this rifle barrel sticking out of the fence and immediately engage that individual, at which time the individual took off.”
