This is the tense moment an object is thrown at Pope Leo XIV from a huge crowd that tries to charge him on World Drugs Day.
Swarms of worshippers were pressed against the railing, desperately trying to reach out to the Catholic leader.
One overly-enthusiastic faithful threw a red and yellow object - believed to be representing the football club AS Roma - and knocked the pontiff's skullcap.
It is believed that the newly appointed pope is a fan of AS Roma, which many felt was confirmed last month after he allegedly responded 'Forza Roma' to a Giallorossi supporter.
As he rearranges his skullcap, a huge swell from the crowd breaks the railings and they suddenly surge forward, trying to grab at Pope Leo's arms.
