Macron rushed out from theatre amid protest

French protesters chased down President Emmanuel Macron at an evening theatre performance in northern Paris on Friday. The video showed protesters chanting and some entering a door into the Les Bouffes du Nord theatre in the northern area of La Chappell, as surprised police tried to hold them back.

A black car reported carrying Macron then sped away under a hail of boos.

Protests against the French government's plans to overhaul the pension system have been taking place for weeks.

Friday was the 44th day of strikes aimed at overturning the plan.
