President Joe Biden tripped and fell after handing out the last diploma at a graduation ceremony at the US Air Force Academy on Thursday.
The 80-year-old US president quickly got up on one knee helped by three people and walked back to his seat unassisted.
As Biden was helped up, he pointed behind him, seeming to indicate what he tripped over.
White House communications director Ben LaBolt said on Twitter that Biden was fine. "There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands," he explained.
