In a dramatic display of no-nonsense security, French officials made quick work of a pro-Palestine protester who attempted to disrupt the prestigious Tour de France. The incident, captured on video, shows the protester being swiftly flipped over a metal barrier by security personnel.
The protester, whose identity remains unknown, appeared to be attempting to halt the race or draw attention to their cause. However, French security, known for their firm handling of disruptions, ensured the event continued without further interruption.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic but brief, with the protester being removed from the course in a matter of seconds. The Tour de France, one of the most iconic cycling events in the world, has seen its fair share of protests over the years, but security measures are always tight to prevent any major disruptions.
This latest incident highlights the challenges event organisers face in balancing free speech with the smooth running of large-scale sporting events. French authorities have yet to comment on whether any charges will be brought against the individual involved.
