Emmanuel Macron was humbled this week after New York City cops stopped his vehicle and forced him to wait on the street to make way for US President Donald Trump's motorcade, reports The Daily Mail.

Footage shows the perplexed French president stranded on a road moments after he left the UN headquarters in the Big Apple on Monday. 

“I'm really sorry, Mr. President, everything is frozen,” a police officer can be heard telling Macron.

The French leader then proceeded to take matters into his own hands, and was shown in a separate video calling his American counterpart on the phone.

“Guess what, I'm waiting in the street right now because everything is frozen for you,”  he appears to tell Trump.

But after several minutes of waiting around, the French president was then forced to walk down the street with his bodyguards after the roads opened—but only for pedestrians.

Footage of the awkward moment involving Macron, who is in New York for the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, has gone viral on social media.
