French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday has been slapped in the face during a walkabout session with a crowd on an official visit to the southeast of France, international media reported.

In a video circulating on social media, the French president can be seen walking up to a barrier to shake hands with a man in green shit, glasses, and mask. The man then slaps Macron in the face before officers quickly move in.

According to French media, two men have been arrested in connection to the incident. Police personnel, in a large number, were deployed in the streets of Valencia — where Macron made his stop after the incident, shared French journalist Marie Chantrait.
