A Secret Service agent was robbed at gunpoint over the weekend while President Biden was in Los Angeles attending a star-studded fundraiser, according to local police.

The incident occurred on Saturday at the Tustin Fields 1 residential community in Orange County at about 9:30 pm local time, the Tustin Police Department said in a statement on Monday.

The agent was able to fire their weapon at the armed robbers, who made off with a bag belonging to the agent, police said.

“A member of the U.S. Secret Service was the victim of an armed robbery in Tustin, California late Saturday when returning from a work assignment,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told The Post.

“The employee discharged their service weapon during the incident but unknown if the assailants were struck,” he added. “We are thankful that the employee did not sustain any injuries.”

The Tustin Police Department said some of the agent’s belongings were located after the incident.

Authorities have not located any suspects and are looking for a 2004-2006 model silver Infiniti FX35 SUV that was spotted leaving the scene of the crime.

Biden, 81, arrived in Los Angeles for a campaign fundraiser at the Peacock Theater early Saturday morning, traveling from the G7 summit in Italy.

The president stayed at an undisclosed location in the Los Angeles area overnight.

He arrived at that location at about 8:53 pm local time, just about 40 minutes before the robbery.

The Biden campaign raised more than $30 million at the event, which was attended by Hollywood luminaries like George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Barbra Streisand.

Former President Barack Obama and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel also appeared on stage with Biden during the fundraiser.
