DENVER (AP) - Authorities are holding a man on suspicion of criminal mischief after someone threw a rock through a window at the Donald Trump campaign office in Denver, narrowly missing a 10-year-old child.

Michael Ferrara was arrested by Denver police shortly after the incident. Court records did not indicate if Ferrara has an attorney.

About 20 volunteers at the campaign office in Denver escaped injury when the rock smashed through the window while they were making campaign calls.

Denver campaign co-chair Steve Barlock said the rock left a melon-sized hole in the window and the man fled.

“He ran and one of our volunteers was across the street talking to an off-duty police officer. An armed security guard and the volunteer ran him down and captured him,” Barlock said.

On-duty police responded from several blocks away and took the man into custody. No injuries were reported.

Earlier in the day, someone painted graffiti on the same building. No arrests have been made in that case.

Trump had a campaign rally scheduled in Denver on Saturday night.

The graffiti and rock-throwing follows the firebombing of a Republican office in North Carolina last month.
