TELEGRAPH – With limited campaigning time remaining before Tuesday’s presidential election, Mr Obama had to wait several minutes for the removal of a passionate protester who began shouting at the start of the president’s speech.
The first of the hecklers is believed to have shouted several statements about abortion while holding up a placard showing images of foetuses.
Many in the crowd applauded when police officers eventually pried his fingers from an upper tier railing and carried him from the venue.
A second man who shouted from the crowd and made gestures towards Mr Obama was booed and subsequently led away by a police officer.
