A man in a red jacket ran onto the stage during Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's inauguration speech on Friday (April 19) and grabbed the microphone, but was quickly tackled by his bodyguards.

After the man was removed, Maduro said, "The security has failed totally. They could have shot me easily. Security has failed."

The disruption came just after Maduro had been sworn in as president, in front of an audience that included Cuban President Raul Castro and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
