An onlooker at King Charles' Accession ceremony was tackled to the ground and arrested after jumping a barrier and attempting to run in front of the monarch's oncoming car.
Video of the incident showed five police officers swiftly take action, chasing the man through The Mall toward Buckingham Palace and immobilising him within seconds.
The man was promptly hand-cuffed and searched by police before he was led through the crowd and toward a waiting police van.
Dressed in a plain black t-shirt and skinny jeans, the man scanned the crowd as one officer marched him past thousands of jeering onlookers.

The officers received a rapturous applause and cheers from the crowd for moving quickly to stop the man, which allowed the procession for King Charles to continue without another hitch.
