A French MP has been attacked by a crowd of Covid-19 pass protesters outside his home in the overseas territory of St Pierre and Miquelon.

Video showed Stéphane Claireaux being pelted with seaweed, mud and other missiles in the North American territory.

He likened the attack to a "stoning" and said he would file criminal charges against those responsible.

The MP is from the ruling party of French President Emmanuel Macron, who said the incident was "intolerable".

The attack came a few days before the introduction of France's health pass in St Pierre and Miquelon, two islands near Canada's Newfoundland in the North Atlantic.
