Houston police arrested a man who allegedly threw a can of White Claw that hit U.S. senator Ted Cruz during the Astros’ World Series victory parade Monday.
In a statement released Monday, authorities said the can hit Cruz around the chest and neck area. The senator, 51, did not require medical attention.
“Nearby HPD officers arrested the male without further incident,” Houston police said in a statement on Twitter. “He was taken to jail and faces assault charges.”
Cruz, who was riding in a vehicle in the parade at the time of the incident, expressed his gratitude for the “quick action” taken against the suspect.
