During a Donald Trump rally which drew an estimated 10,000 supporters in Albany, a fight broke out between a protester and a Trump supporter.

The Daily Beast reports that the Trump supporter, Mike Caraher, confronted the protesters, shoving one particular protester in the face multiple times. 

After the protester was removed, Caraher is quoted saying, “I have my personal rights and my personal space. They’re going to start yelling about some [expletive], I'll snatch your [expletive] up.”

Trump was interrupted multiple times by protesters during his speech, which was met with the candidate saying, “get ‘em out of here” and “send him back home to mom.”  

In Albany, the frontrunner highlighted his New York values in contrast to Cruz, and attacked the ‘crooked’ nomination process after losing all the delegates in Colorado to Cruz the previous weekend. 

The New York native is looking to bounce back big with a win in his home state on April 19.  

Trump rallies have had a notorious reputation since multiple incidents of violence were reported when protesters clashed with supporters.
