For Toronto mayor Rob Ford, being in the political limelight became quite painful when he collided head-on with a TV camera.
The Canadian politician ended up with a bruised ego and a sore head after a TV crew member took close-up filming to an extreme.
While rushing out of a committee meeting at Ontario’s City Hall, he walked directly into the path of an oncoming cameraman.
‘Ah f*** man. Holy Christ!’ exclaimed the startled mayor as he crouched down, holding his eye after the painful impact.
‘Holy. Have some respect, you just hit me in the face with a camera,’ he shouted while exiting the building, assisted by a security personnel.
Mr. Ford is known for hastily leaving meetings at City Hall, prompting reporters to pursue him for questions and pushing cameramen against cement pillars.
‘He’s a bit sore but he’ll be just fine,’ remarked his spokesman George Christopoulos.
