Emmanuel Macron hit by egg thrown from crowd in Lyon

An egg was thrown at French president Emmanuel Macron on Monday morning.

Footage shared by Lyon Mag shows Macron making his way through a crowd as the projectile is thrown at his head, following a speech made at a hospitality event in Lyon.

Rather than exploding on contact, the egg bounces off his shoulder and onto the floor as Macron's security attempt to shield him.

Lyon Mag report that a "young man" was arrested by the security service after throwing the egg and shouting "long live the revolution".
