Roger Federer Attacked at the French Open (Video)

There was a scary moment for Roger Federer at the French Open finals on Sunday. A man dressed in a Barcelona soccer shirt attacked the tennis star on the court and tried to put a red hat on his head.

Roger Federer shoved the intruder away, prompting security to chase and tackle the man.

The bigger concern here would seem to be how this fruitcake managed to get within ten feet of Federer in the first place. Hello? Security?

The incident didn't seem to rattle Federer too much, however. He beat Robin Soderling for a career Grand Slam.

Here’s video of Roger Federer being attacked:
