An intruder ran onto the court, Stopping French Open Finals

An intruder ran onto the court during the second set of the men's final, waving a Barcelona soccer team flag stunned Roger Federer and the crowd at the French Open when he leapt onto the court and tried to place a red hat on Federer's head during the men's final on Sunday.

Federer pushed the intruder aside, and the man then danced in front of him waving a Barcelona soccer team flag.

He was carried off the court by three security guards. Police later said he was jailed for questioning and could be charged with illegally entering a sports stadium. Police said the man claimed to be a fan of Federer.

Intruders have interrupted Grand Slam finals before, at Roland Garros and elsewhere, but what made this episode scarier was the man went right up to Federer and touched him.

After the man was taken away, a security guard approached Federer to check if he was OK. The Swiss player smiled and nodded. A moment later, Federer turned to look up at his wife in the stands and then adjusted his headband.
