Angry protester interrupts Kansas City Mayor

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- An angry protestor interrupted a state of the city address by Kansas City Mayor Sly James.

The protester put up a fight but was quickly wrestled to the ground by the mayor's bodyguards.

It's unclear why the man was so upset -- but those in attendance say he'd been complaining about a city council member.

Mayor James says he never felt in danger, so there is no need to increase police presence at future meetings.
