The Daily Mail UK reports:
The clip shows the nun sprint across the muddy construction site of a Catholic centre in Saint-Pierre-de-Colombier in Ardèche, and charge towards one of the campaigners, grabbing him from behind.
The protestor who is carrying two large cylinders in each hand as he attempts to run away from the nun, loses his balance as the nun grapples him towards the ground.
Climate activists have reportedly been battling over the construction of the religious center for several years.
