French President Emmanuel Macron was slapped in the face by a man in a crowd -- who yelled "down with Macron -- as he spoke to the public during a visit to southeast France on Tuesday, video of the incident posted on social media showed.

The footage, shared by CNN-affiliate BFM, showed Macron walking up to a metal fence and clasping the arm of a man in the crowd as he began to greet onlookers.
The man, while gripping Macron's arm, then slapped the president across his left cheek.
Macron's security detail quickly intervened, tackling the man while pulling the president away from the metal barrier.
