A woman who was visibly excited to see Pope Francis, pulled him towards her by grabbing his hand. The sudden move seemed to catch Pope Francis off guard, who responded by berating the woman and slapping her hand.

A video posted to social media shows the woman standing with others lined up along St. Peter’s Square on Tuesday. Pope Francis is seen in the video greeting people on his way to see the nativity scene. After reaching out to touch a child, Pope Francis turned his back away from the crowd as the woman grabbed his hand to pull him closer to her. The unidentified woman can be seen making the sign of a cross as the pope gets closer to her.
