The US president, donning an Air Force baseball cap, was seen shaking the hand of a cadet before turning to walk away.
He then took one step forward and crumpled to the ground. Staff rushed to his side to assist him as the President tried to get up.
He got up on one knee before three others helped him get back to his feet. Biden eventually was able to walk away on his own.
He then turned around and pointed at the floor as if to indicate the culprit for the fall before continuing to walk off.
The President delivered remarks to graduating cadets at Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
“Graduates, you made a noble choice to lead a life of service,” Biden said during his speech.

“Now you also shoulder a great privilege and a mighty responsibility.”
“In the years ahead, your airmen and guardians are going to look to you for guidance and inspiration because the world is going to get more confusing,” he added.
“They’ll put their trust in you. You, in turn, must strive to always be worthy of their confidence.”
The stumble comes just weeks after Biden stumbled while visiting the Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima, Japan.
During that event, there was a railing available on some stairs the president had to navigate down.
He ignored the railing and stumbled, restoring his balance while walking downward. Biden also stumbled while boarding Air Force One in March on a trip to Selma, Alabama.
Biden fell up the stairs while boarding Air Force One in 2021 and toppled over on his bike near his Delaware beach house last June. He was not harmed in any of the incidents.
