Scary moment for Francis
This happened in Mexico;
For a Pope often seen as calm and collected, the look on his face after a mishap at a Mexican stadium came as a stunner.
The Pope was greeting a crowd in the city of Morelia on Tuesday when someone apparently grabbed him by the hand and wouldn't let go.
The worshiper ended up pulling the Pope down onto a young man in a wheelchair.
Francis regained his balance with the help of a security guard. But his normally smiling face morphed into a look of anger as he apparently yelled at the person in the crowd.

Hope everyone is OK.

One of the jobs that he had as a youth:

He is the Pope however he is still man. I think everyone would react like this an even more under the circumstances
