Security guards tackled a man who ran towards a motorcade carrying Morocco’s King Mohammed VI and Pope Francis.

The motorcade had been travelling in Morocco’s capital Rabat, as the king escorted the Pope to the city’s Hassan Tower on Saturday. The man who approached the motorcade appeared to be waving an envelope and heading towards the vehicle carrying the king.

It was unclear what happened to the running man afterwards.
