(NewsNation) — Authorities arrested a man Saturday at Trump Doral National Golf Club in Miami after the individual became unruly and got physical with a Secret Service agent, a federal official said.

President Trump was not at the property at the time.

The incident occurred around 4:15 p.m. EDT at a security screening area staffed by the Secret Service and local police. An individual “became disruptive and failed to comply with lawful orders” before making “physical contact” with an agent, according to a statement from Acting Special Agent in Charge Michael Townsend of the Secret Service’s Miami field office.

The man was taken into custody, and the Doral Police Department charged him with disorderly conduct and resisting without violence.

“At no point did this situation impact the established security posture for any upcoming visits to Trump Doral National Golf Club by Secret Service protectees,” Townsend said.

The man who allegedly caused the disturbance was being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami, according to police. No further information was available.

The incident comes one week after an armed man rushed past security at a Washington, D.C., press gala Trump and cabinet members were attending. The suspect, Cole Allen, is being held on charges of trying to assassinate the president.
