A Mexican man has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a Border Patrol agent in southern Arizona.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say the agent was kicked multiple times in the head, but was able to arrest his attacker before going to a hospital for an evaluation of his injuries.
They say the 25-year-old suspect was attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border Sunday east of Nogales, Arizona, and resisted arrest before assaulting the agent.
The man was seen climbing a fence east of Nogales and the agent pulled him off it.
Federal authorities say the man will be charged with assault and processed for violating immigration law.
His name and the agent's identity weren't immediately released Monday.

SAN LUIS, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities at the Port of San Luis have arrested a 25-year-old woman attempting to cross the Arizona border with 48 pounds of methamphetamine.
The unidentified woman was travelling with four young children Monday when U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials referred her vehicle for a secondary inspection.
A drug-sniffing dog alerted officers to multiple packages of suspected narcotics in the vehicle's rocker panels. The drugs turned out to be about $144,000 worth of methamphetamine.
Officers arrested the woman for narcotics smuggling and turned her over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.
Authorities also seized the drugs and vehicle while the four children were turned over to a family member.

CALEXICO, Calif. - El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents arrested a previously deported sex offender, who illegally entered the United States Sunday night.
Agents patrolling approximately three miles west of the Calexico Port of Entry around 11:15 p.m. encountered a man who was illegally present in the United States.
The man was arrested and transported to the El Centro Station for processing where record checks identified the man as Jose Luis Vargas-Hernandez.
The man had been previously convicted of a misdemeanor sex offense for unlawful sexual conduct with a 16 or 17-year-old and was sentenced to 18 months probation and time served in jail. The record checks also revealed Vargas subsequently was ordered removed by an Immigration Judge on Aug. 30th, 2016.
"Our job as Border Patrol agents, is not only to enforce immigration laws but to ensure the safety and well-being of our community," said Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Joyce C. Golosino.
Vargas, a 27-year-old Mexican citizen, will be prosecuted for re-entry after removal.

EL PASO, TX - The FBI has doubled its reward for information in the death of a border patrol agent that could lead to resolving the case.
Agent Rogelio Martinez died after he was found Nov. 18 with severe head injuries and broken bones. The reward for information increased from $25,000 to $50,000 Monday.
Investigators have said Martinez's partner, who radioed for help and who has not been named, is recovering from similar injuries but does not remember what happened.
Several elected officials called the incident an attack in the hours after it was reported. FBI officials said they are investigating the incident as a potential assault, but have not ruled out the possibility that the agents were injured in an accident.
Texas is also offering a $20,000 reward for information.
