President Macron later called it an "isolated event".

"We must not let ultra-violent people take over the public debate: they do not deserve it," he told French newspaper Le Dauphiné.

In the video Macron briefly returned to the barrier after the incident and once again interacted with the crowd.

"I continued and I will continue," he later told Le Dauphiné. "Nothing will stop me."

据外媒报道，涉嫌掌掴马克龙的男子名为达米安·塔雷尔，今年28岁。警方称，塔雷尔是一名中世纪军事爱好者，此前并无犯罪记录。目前当地法庭判处其监禁4个月。

The man alleged to have slapped French President Emmanuel Macron in the face ran a club for enthusiasts of medieval swordsmanship and had no previous criminal record, two sources familiar with the investigation said on Wednesday.

A police source identified the suspect as 28-year-old Damien Tarel. 

He has been given four months in jail after he admitted slapping French President Emmanuel Macron.

对此事件，诸多法国政坛重要人物齐声谴责。

法国总理卡斯泰认为民主指的是辩论与合理的争辩，他强调“政治绝不是暴力，不是语言攻击，更不是身体攻击”。

而马克龙最大的政敌，法国极右翼领导人玛丽娜•勒庞也对其进行了声援。她表示此次针对马克龙的暴力袭击“不可接受”。

Politicians have swiftly denounced the incident.

French Prime Minister Jean Castex told the National Assembly shortly afterwards that while democracy meant debate and legitimate disagreement "it must never in any case mean violence, verbal aggression and even less physical attack".

Far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who is Macron's biggest political opponent, said physically attacking the President was "unacceptable," during a Tuesday press conference.
