One of the guards with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) also stepped in to help prevent the man from getting any closer to Trudeau.
As his guards stepped in, Trudeau took his hands off the man and stepped away.
The incident was quickly settled and no one was arrested. It’s unclear why the man was upset and why he approached Trudeau.
Nonetheless, the Prime Minister seemingly handled himself in a professional manner, as no one was injured.
