(The Center Square) – A bloody former President Donald Trump shook his fist into the air to show his supporters he was only wounded in what appeared to have been an attack against him at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

The presumed Republican candidate for president this November was speaking at a campaign rally in Butler, Penn., when reporters there say they heard “pops” and saw Trump grab at his right ear. Campaign security quickly surrounded Trump and lowered him to the podium floor.

Law enforcement stormed the stage, while Trump slowly rose to his feet allowing the crowd to see blood coming from the top of his right ear.

Trump began gesturing to the crowd while being escorted off stage, inaudibly yelling.

The Trump campaign said the former president is being treated at a local hospital but is OK.

This is a developing story.
