French President Emmanuel Macron has been hit on the shoulder by an egg thrown at him during a visit to an international food trade fair in the city of Lyon.
A video of the incident, that took place on Monday, has been widely shared on social media and shows Macron walking through the crowd when an egg bounced off him without breaking.
Two bodyguards can be seen immediately getting closer to the president to protect his shoulders.
The video also shows a man being taken away from the scene by other bodyguards.
Reporters at the scene heard Macron saying, “if he has something to tell me, then he can come.”
No details have been released by authorities on the identity or the motivations of the man.
