Iranian diplomat faces protesters in New York

An Iranian diplomat was mobbed by protesters in New York, shortly after the President Ahmadinejad addressed the UN General Assembly.

The Deputy Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Ramin Mehmanparast, was walking outside the UN building, when he was spotted by the anti-Ahmadinejad protesters who surrounded him, shouting "Get lost and go back into your hotel... What are you doing in New York, you sick criminal?” and "Yeah, you scared sh*t, run away and go stand next to the police.”

Police officers intervened and shepherded him away from the protesters.
