A man has been arrested after punching a female MP from President Emmanuel Macron's party in the head in a southern Paris suburb, reports the BBC.
Laurianne Rossi, 33, was confronted by the man as she distributed leaflets in Bagneux market.
He expressed anger at Macron government policy before punching her in the right temple, Ms Rossi told local media.
It is the second attack on a female French politician in a public place in recent months.
In the latest attack, the man, in his 50s, was quickly overpowered by activists and market stallholders.
Ms Rossi told Le Parisien newspaper she had been left "stunned and a bit shocked".
"This man was clearly hostile to government and majority policy. He was speaking vehemently but was not immediately aggressive," she said.
