Photographer Jacob Khrist was violently detained by Front National Marine Le Pen's private security as he covered a FEMEN protest outside a polling station Henin-Beaumont, on Sunday.
Footage of the arrest shows Khrist being pinned to the ground, appearing to be in pain and asking the officers to stop. His agency condemned his arrest, saying it was "inadmissible" as he was simply carrying out his job.
Several activists were also detained when FEMEN activists wearing masks of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Front National leader protested outside the Henin-Beaumont polling station.
