Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau pelted with stones | Abroad

Footage shows that a person, who does not come into view, throws a full hand of gravel at the prime minister and his security guards. According to Canadian media, Trudeau was hit on the shoulder. No suspect has been arrested.

Shortly before that, the prime minister tried to talk to the demonstrators, who were carrying signs with slogans against the corona measures. Trudeau was shown some middle fingers there.

Canadians will go to the polls on September 20. Trudeau is not doing well in the polls. His biggest political opponent, the conservative Erin O’ Toole, has condemned the attack.

It is not the first time the politician has been pelted. In 2016, an enraged woman threw handfuls of pumpkin seeds at Trudeau. She was angry about the construction of an oil pain line.
