MORELLA, Mexico (CBSMiami) -- In a rare sight, Pope Francis lost his composure for a moment when a fan in the crowd grabbed the pontiff, nearly causing a collapse.

It happened Tuesday while the pope was on his last day of a trip to Mexico.

While Pope Francis was greeting the crowd, one fan who got too close, grabbing and pulling the pope's robe. It caused the Catholic leader to stumble onto a wheelchair-bound boy.

While Pope Francis was able to recover and kiss the boy on the head, he then shouted at the man saying, "No seas egoísta," which translates to, "Don't be selfish."

During his trip the country, Pope Francis has urged Mexican youth to avoid the temptations of drugs and lure of easy money from dealing drugs.

On Friday, the pope's plane was reportedly hit by a laser light as it was arriving to Mexico City.
