Video has surfaced of Hillary Clinton appearing to collapse as she was led into a van after suffering a 'medical episode' during the 9/11 memorial service.
The Democratic presidential candidate is seen standing on a curb near the World Trade Center when she suddenly appeared unable to stand.
She seems to nearly fall to the ground before she is caught by her aides, who hold her up. Her security detail then had to help her into the van by grabbing each of her arms.
The former Secretary of State then appears to fall forward toward the door of the van before being bundled inside.
Law enforcement sources told the Daily Beast she was thrown into the back seat like a 'side of beef'.
She appears to lose a shoe under the vehicle in the struggle before being driven to daughter Chelsea's apartment in Manhattan.
Despite the concerning footage, she emerged from the home at 11:45am on Sunday saying she was fine. She told waiting reporters: 'I'm feeling great, it's a beautiful day in New York.'
A smiling Clinton was then greeted by a young girl on the street to pose for a picture. She waved at customers at a nearby restaurant before getting into a van.
Clinton then traveled to her home in Chappaqua, New York, according to her campaign.
It is not known whether she saw a doctor.
Nick Merrill, her traveling press secretary, said Clinton 'overheated' during the ceremony, but quickly recovered.
She recently said she had been suffering from allergy attacks since Labor Day and had upped her antihistamine dosage.
Clinton suffered two coughing fits this week while on the campaign trail, one while she was speaking publicly in Ohio on Monday and another while she was taking questions from reporters.
Dailymail.com had asked Clinton about her health Thursday pointing to notes released by the FBI as part of the bureau's email investigation that suggested Clinton may have suffered memory loss from the concussion she sustained in 2012.
'Can you clarify what you told the FBI about your concussion?' Dailymail.com had asked the candidate, to which Clinton replied curtly, 'read the reports,' offering no additional explanation.
There are also questions over whether the Secret Service broke their own protocol when they whisked Hillary away from the scene.
A source told the Washington Post that agents are supposed to wait for a car before they take a protected individual away.
In the video, Hillary is seen leaning against a bollard before the motorcade draws up.
They appeared to have rushed her departure, which meant lead agent Todd Madison had to leave her side to open the van door, which is also against protocol.
