Pope jumps from Popemobile to help officer when she fell off her horse (PHOTOS)
Pope Francis stopped his motorcade and got out to help a police officer who fell from her horse as he passed on Thursday.
The pontiff had just finished celebrating mass in Iquique and was travelling in his motorcade when the officer's horse reared up violently as the vehicle approached and the officer who was on guard tumbled off. Francis descended from his popemobile and he stood by the woman until an ambulance arrived with a stretcher and took her away before he resumed his ride.
The Vatican said the woman was conscious "and received some words of consolation from the Holy Father".
