Protester Apprehended After Disrupting Tour de France Finish Line
A protester opposing Israel’s involvement in the Tour de France was swiftly apprehended after attempting to disrupt the prestigious cycling race.
A man breached a barricade close to the finish line,heading towards the racers while allegedly voicing objections to Israel’s involvement and holding unknown items. Security swiftly responded,with one guard intercepting the intruder just 25 meters from the finish line,tackling him,and forcefully throwing him back over the barrier into the spectators.
This intense moment occurred during Stage 11 of the three-week race as the front cyclists approached the end of the 97.5-mile course in Toulouse, southern France.
The group called for more “peaceful protests” along the route. “Let’s ensure the roads are closed to perpetrators of genocide,” the group stated on its website.
The Tour de France, made up of 21 stages, will conclude July 27 along the Champs-รlysรฉes in paris.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Tour de France for comment but did not instantly receive a response.
