Argentina's President Javier Milei was nearly struck by a bottle on a parade route moments after he was sworn in as the head of state.

Video footage showed the Argentine leader sitting next to his sister, Karina Milei, in a Mercedes Benz convertible and Federal Police agents walking beside it on their way to Casa Rosada, the presidential mansion in Buenos Aires.

The glass container flew past Milei's head and hit one police officer Guillermo Armentano in the neck.
