A piece of wood hurled at US President Donald Trump's motorcade has struck a car and five students in Florida are facing charges.
Palm Beach County Sheriff's office spokeswoman Teri Barbera said in a statement on Saturday that the incident happened Friday around 1:45pm.
Officers assisting the US Secret Service reported that a vehicle in the motorcade had been struck by what was believed to be a 4X2 piece of wood.
Several members of the motorcade returned to the scene after completing the motorcade to look for witnesses and objects along the roadway.
A child from a local middle school confessed to throwing the wood at the motorcade and also implicated four additional students, police say.
Charges will be filed with the Palm Beach County States Attorney's Office.
