Pope Vault

A man tried to jump into the back of the open-air vehicle carrying Pope Benedict XVI in Vatican City on Wednesday before being wrestled to the ground.

Video showed the man, wearing a red t-shirt, dark shorts, a baseball cap and sunglasses, launch himself over a crowd of people waving flags and holding banners on the side of the street as the PopeMobile passed by. He seemed to touch the back of the vehicle before at least six men in dark suits punched, kicked, and threw him to the ground.

The ever-oblivious pontiff continued waving and did not look behind him where the incident took place.

Check out the video:
