Pope Francis, normally a serene presence, seemed to get agitated after being pulled into a crowd in Morelia, Mexico.

A video shows someone in the crowd grabbing the Pope's hand and apparently refusing to let go, forcing him to fall onto a child in a wheelchair.

The Pope then appears to shout at whoever pulled him down, reportedly saying "Don't be selfish" in Spanish.
