Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese fell off a stage on Thursday during a campaign event in New South Wales. The incident happened while the Prime Minister was posing for photos following his speech during a campaign event for May’s national election.

Videos widely shared on social media showed Albanese tumbling off the stage while he was walking to the other side of the stage.

He fell as he stepped back, drawing gasps from the audience.

Moments later, Albanese recovered smiling and gestured to the crowd with two hands that he was fine.

According to Reuters, Albanese later shrugged off the incident, when he was asked about it during a radio interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

“I stepped back one step. I didn’t fall off the stage… just one leg went down, but I was sweet," he said.

Albanese is currently on the campaign trail for an election on May 3.

The Labor party is running neck-and-neck in opinion polls with the conservative Liberal- opposition led by Peter Dutton.
