<p>Houston law enforcement officials released a statement Monday afternoon saying that they arrested a 33-year-old man for assaulting Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) during a Houston Astros celebration parade.</p>
<p>&#8220;HPD made one arrest during today’s victory parade,&#8221; the Houston Police Department said in a statement. &#8220;A male, 33, threw a beer can at U.S. Senator Ted Cruz as the Senator was on a float in the 2400 block of Smith St. The beer can struck the Senator in the chest/neck area. The Senator did not require medical attention.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Nearby HPD officers arrested the male without further incident,&#8221; the <a href="https://twitter.com/houstonpolice/status/1589735632493957120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1589735632493957120%7Ctwgr%5Eb225953b6a311c7d74387a5ce28ee43011279c43%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fox26houston.com%2Fnews%2Fman-arrested-for-throwing-beer-can-at-sen-ted-cruz-during-astros-championship-parade">statement</a> continued. &#8220;He was taken to jail and faces assault charges. We will release the suspect&#8217;s name and booking photo here when formal charges are filed.&#8221;</p>
<p>The can of beer that was thrown at Cruz did not appear to be opened, meaning it would be considerably heavier than an empty can, as a thud could be heard once it feel into the back of the military Hummer that was Cruz was riding in. Cruz&#8217;s young daughters were standing next to him when the attack happened.</p>
<p>&#8220;As always I&#8217;m thankful for the Houston Police and Capitol Police for their quick action,&#8221; Cruz said in a statement to The Daily Wire. &#8220;I&#8217;m also thankful that the clown who threw his White Claw had a noodle for an arm.”</p>
<p>A video showed Cruz on the back of the truck reacting as a beer can came flying toward him. He and a staffer both reached up at the same time, attempting to deflect the can away with their hands, but it did strike Cruz. The staffer then <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/beer-can-flies-at-ted-cruz-during-astros-parade-appearance">pointed</a> into the crowd, showing police and parade security officials where the offending beer can had come from.</p>
