Cruz, a controversial figure even in Texas, rode in an uncovered military-style truck, waving to fans of the team.Multiple videos were posted on social media, showing the firebrand senator being loudly booed by the crowd before what appears to be a beer can being thrown at the lawmaker. Footage shows that a bodyguard blocked the object before speaking into a lapel mic; however, according to Houston Police, the beer can managed to strike Cruz in the chest and neck.The Houston Police Department detailed in a statement that a 33-year-old man, whose name has not been released, was arrested for allegedly throwing the beer can. The individual is expected to face assault charges. If he gets out on bail, perhaps he can flee to Cancun, Mexico, like the senator once did.
