Donald Trump says he is “safe and well” after what the FBI says “appears to be an attempted assassination”.

According to BBC News, this apparently occurred at the former president’s golf course in Florida.

A Secret Service agent reportedly spotted an AK-47-style weapon poking out of bushes near to where Mr Trump was playing.

The agent is said to have engaged the suspect.

The report says a witness then saw a man flee in a black Nissan, which was later pulled over by a sheriff and the potential suspect arrested.
