Ted Cruz hit with beer during Astros World Series parade in Houston; man arrested
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was hit with a beer can during Monday’s World Series victory parade for the Houston Astros, and an arrest was made, police said.
Cruz was on a float at the 2400 block of Smith Street in Houston when the can was thrown, Houston police tweeted.
“The beer can struck the Senator in the chest/neck area,” police said, adding that he was not injured.
Cruz said on Twitter that the projectile was a can of White Claw, which calls its beverages “hard cider,” a malt alcohol with a beer base that’s also known as alcopop or malternative drinks.
In video of the incident posted on social media, boos can be heard coming from the parade crowd as Cruz drives by, standing in the back of a military style vehicle. A can hurtles toward his head, and people on the vehicle try to shield him from the projectile.
Police said a suspect was arrested on suspicion of assault. The male’s name will be released later, it said.
A spokesperson for Cruz referred to a tweet he wrote after the incident.
“As always I’m thankful for the Houston Police and Capitol Police for their quick action,” the senator said. “I’m also thankful that the clown who threw his White Claw had a noodle for an arm.”
The Astros beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on Saturday in Game 6 of the World Series to take the championship for the second time in team history.
