VATICAN CITY (AP)

Vatican spokesman says woman jumped barriers and knocked down pope at Christmas Eve Mass.

Oops. I hope she said, "Excuse me." Hopefully, nobody was injured.

UPDATE (h/t: Winthorpe):

The Rev. Ciro Benedettini said the pope quickly got up and was unhurt. Benedict, 82, calmly resumed his walk to the basilica's main altar and began the Mass late Thursday.

Benedettini said the woman who pushed the pope appeared to be mentally unstable and had been arrested by Vatican police.

The rest is here.
