Policeman tumbles into wall as he tries to tackle topless protester

Warning: Mildly NSFW

A French policeman learned the hard way why one should not attempt to tackle a protester running topless through the streets of Paris.

As he attempted to block one of the 25-strong group of Femen protesters, the policeman stumbled, staggered and eventually fell face first into a brick wall.

Losing his balance, dignity and his little blue hat all at the same time. Ouch.
