Bloodied Donald Trump Defiantly Pumps His Fist Moments After Surviving Assassination Bid | VIDEO

Pennsylvania: In a dramatic visual, former US President Donald Trump defiantly pumped his fist moments after surviving an assassination bid on Saturday and reiterated the word 'fight.'

Trump Gets On His Feet In Seconds, Pumps Fist In Air

Trump got to his feet barely seconds later and could be seen reaching with his right hand toward his face, which was smeared with blood on his face. He then pumped his fist in the air and appeared to mouth the word “Fight” twice to his crowd of supporters, prompting loud cheers and then chants of 'USA, USA, USA!'

His motorcade left the venue moments later. Video showed Trump turning back to the crowd and raising a fist right before he was put into a vehicle.

Witnesses Heard Multiple Gunshots, Ducked For Cover

“Everybody went to their knees or their prone position, because we all knew, everyone becoming aware of the fact this was gunfire,” said Dave McCormick, the Republican candidate for US Senate in Pennsylvania, who was sitting to Trump’s right on stage.

As he saw Trump raise his fist, McCormick said, he looked over his shoulder and noticed someone had been hit while sitting in the bleachers behind the stage.

Eventually, first responders were able to carry the injured person out of a large crowd so he could get medical care, McCormick said.

Several Ducked, Hid Under Tables

Reporters covering the rally heard five or six shots ring out and many ducked for cover, hiding under tables. After the first two or three bangs, people in the crowd looked startled, but not panicked. An AP reporter at the scene reported the noise sounded like firecrackers at first or perhaps a car backfiring.

When it was clear the situation had been contained and Trump would not return to speak, attendees started filing out of the venue. One man in an electric wheelchair got stuck on the field when his chair’s battery died. Others tried to help him move. (with AP inputs)
