The motorcade began at around 10:00 AM. The motorcade first passed Mehmedbašić and Čubrilović, but both failed to act. As the motorcade approached Čabrinović, he threw a grenade at Franz Ferdinand. However, the grenade's explosion was delayed by 10 seconds, and bounced off the back of the vehicle, injuring several spectators instead. Čabrinović then swallowed his cyanide pill and jumped into the river behind him. However, the cyanide was old and only induced vomiting. Čabrinović was immediately pulled out of the river and beaten by spectators.
