Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard has been dragged to safety by a personal security guard during angry protest in Canberra against the celebration of Australia's national day.
Gillard stumbled and was caught by the security guard as riot police helped her force a path through a crowd of rowdy protesters at a Australia Day ceremony on Thursday.
She appeared distressed as she was pulled away from the protesters but was unharmed. She later remarked that she was made of "pretty tough stuff" and commended police for their actions.
