Reuters reports:
A visibly indignant Pope Francis had to pull himself away from a woman in a crowd in St Peter’s Square on Tuesday after she grabbed his hand and yanked him toward her.
After reaching out to touch a child, the pope turned away from the crowd only for a nearby woman to seize his hand and pull her toward him.
The abrupt gesture appeared to cause him pain and Francis swiftly wrenched his hand free.
