Over the weekend, during US President Joe Biden's visit to California, unknown persons robbed a Secret Service agent in the western California town of Tustin. This was reported by Fox News, according to UNN.

Details

It is noted that at about 21:30 on , officers of the Tustin Police Department responded to a call about a possible robbery that occurred in the Tustin Fields 1 residential area.

Upon arrival, police discovered that the victim was a Secret Service agent and that his bag had been stolen by threatening him with a gun.  Law enforcement officials also said that the agent tried to shoot back at the attacker. 

The newspaper adds that police have not yet managed to detain the attacker, so it is not known whether the agent managed to wound him. Officers found some of the victim's belongings in the area, and the incident is under investigation.

In the meantime, the police have put out an APB for a silver Infiniti FX35 made in 2004-2006 or a similar vehicle that was seen at the scene.
