French President Emmanuel Macron Hit With Egg During Restaurant Fair Visit

Eggs from irate protesters are a common occupational hazard for French politicians, and Macron is no exception.

The egg hit his shoulder but bounced off without breaking.

The assailant was quickly subdued and removed from the room, with Macron saying he would try to speak with him later.
