The youngest son of Nicolas Sarkozy threw a tomato and other objects at a police woman standing outside France's presidential residence, it emerged today.

Louis Sarkozy, 15, and two friends launched the attack on the female officer from the courtyard of the Elysee Palace in Paris - also hitting the officer in the cheek with a marble.

She filed an official criminal report, but the case was dropped after the hugely embarrassed President apologised to her in person.
