Police arrested a 33-year-old man who allegedly flung a beer can at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) during a victory parade of the Houston Astros on Monday.

Cruz was on a celebration float with family after the baseball team won the World Series over the weekend when an unidentified bystander threw a beer can that “struck the Senator in the chest/neck area,” according to the Houston Police Department (HPD).
