Another attendee shouted “all lives matter” as the protester was escorted out of the rally by police.
No arrests were made and the protester did not require medical attention, Birmingham Police Lt. Sean Edwards told CNN.
Hope Hicks, a Trump spokeswoman, said “the campaign does not condone this behavior.”
