The video shows Trump speaking at the podium, before the camera is abruptly knocked sideways. When it's righted, we can see a man wearing a red MAGA hat being restrained by another man.
He yells "fuck the media" twice before being led away.
Jorge Salgado, a photographer in attendance, also shared footage from a different angle.
"Just had a man shove photogs and equipment over," he wrote. "Here's a video of him being dragged out of press row."
