Don't miss out on the headlines from Cycling. Followed categories will be added to My News. This is the dramatic moment a brave security guard takes down a brazen anti-Israel protester at the Tour de France in front of a crowd of shocked spectators. The Sun reports the demonstrator was running down the main track protesting against Israel's participation in the event - before the guard brutally tackled him down to the ground.

He is seen running mere metres away from several athletes speeding down the track at the same time as him. But seconds later, the rebellious man is suddenly tackled, thrust against the wall and dramatically hauled over like a ragdoll. Cheering spectators suddenly turn their attention to the wild altercation as the guard desperately attempts to fully restrain him. The staff member seemingly throws his hands towards the rogue protester, while trying to keep him on the ground to put an end to his disruptive behaviour. He calls for help from other security staff before launching his walkie talkie at the protester on the floor in the middle of the jam-packed crowd. Startled biking fans then appear to stop the guard and push him back slightly.

He also held a keffiyeh, a black-and-white checkered headdress and pro-Palestine symbol. The stunt was directed at Israel's Premier-Tech team, which is registered in Israel - despite not featuring any Israeli bikers at this year's event. The security guard was having none of it.
