This is the dramatic moment security guards tackled a man who broke through a cordon and ran towards the Morocco king's motorcade during a visit from the Pope.
He was swiftly seized by security officials after rushing towards the motorcade as the Pope and King Mohamed VI made their way through Rabat.
The man appeared to be waving an envelope as he tried to snake his way between the motorcade vehicles before being tackled. The king and Pope were apparently unaware of the incident.
One security guard jumped straight out of the moving vehicle he was travelling in when he saw the man approach.
King Mohamed VI was welcoming Pope Francis to Rabat on Saturday for a visit aimed at encouraging Christian-Muslim ties and showing solidarity with Morocco's ever-growing migrant community.
In a speech to the king and Moroccan authorities at the Hassan Tower complex, Francis said it is "essential" for all believers to counter religious fanaticism and extremism with solidarity.
He called religious extremism "an offence against religion and against God himself".
