 Worshippers were filmed tugging at his arms - causing the Pontiff to fall into the lap of a wheelchair-bound man. Francis stood up and kissed the disabled man on the forehead before aggressively shouting at the crowd “Don’t be selfish”.

 Video footage showed that while the pope was walking at the edge of a crowd in an stadium, he stopped to greet children who were sitting. Two arms reached out to grab him and the person would not let go, even after the Pope lost his balance and his chest was pressing on the child's head.


Aides and security men stopped the pope from falling to the ground - but not before he fell into the disabled man’s lap. After he returned to an upright position, his face turned angry.

He looked at the person, raised his voice and said twice in Spanish: “Don't be selfish!” It was not clear if the person who pulled the Pope was a man or a woman

The video came as Francis prepared to wrap up his visit to Mexico with a visit to the notorious Ciudad Juarez prison. Francis' final events cap a whirlwind five-day visit that focused heavily on the injustices faced by Mexico's poorest, most oppressed and vulnerable to the country's drug-fuelled violence.

He sought to offer comfort while taking Mexico's political and religious leaders to task for failing to do good for their people. The Pope makes a point of going to prisons on nearly every foreign trip, part of his longtime ministry to inmates and his belief that the lowest in society deserve dignity.
