Police tackled and arrested a protester running towards French President Emmanuel Macron in Amsterdam.

The incident took place as Mr Macron was arriving at the University of Amsterdam science campus, on the second day of his visit to the Netherlands.

Footage posted on social media shows a person running towards Macron as he exits a vehicle and greets people. The police tackled the individual and pinned him to the ground.

This is the second time the president has been targeted by protesters as anger against an unpopular pension reform in France followed Macron during his two-day state visit to the Netherlands.

On Tuesday protesters interrupted a speech he was giving at an event at the Nexus Institute.
