A man has tried to jump into Benedict XVI's popemobile during his weekly general audience held in St Peter's Square at the Vatican.

The man was wrestled to the ground by security officers.

The Pope was not injured and did not appear to notice the incident. He proceeded with the audience as normal.

In May 1981, Ali Agca, a Turkish gunman, fired two shots at the then Pope John Paul II as he was driven around the square in his popemobile.

The man who tried to jump into the popemobile on Wednesday had been standing among some 35,000 people who were attending the audience.

He leapt over the metal barriers separating the crowd from the pontiff and landed behind the moving vehicle.

Several security guards grabbed the man, who was wearing a pink T-shirt, black shorts and a baseball cap.

He seemed to be trying to climb onto the Pope's vehicle, an open jeep, as the pontiff was driven around the square greeting pilgrims, says the BBC's David Willey in Rome.

The man is now being held by Vatican police.

I bet he doesn't wear a black leather outfit either.
