Mexico’s president was groped by a man as she mingled with citizens on the streets of the capital.

The man, who appears visibly drunk, tried to kiss Claudia Sheinbaum on the neck and embrace her from behind. She gently pushed him away and turned to face him, where she was heard to say: “Don’t worry.”

A government official then stepped in and placed himself between the two of them, before ushering Ms Sheinbaum away.
