Argentina's vice-president has narrowly avoided assassination after a gunman's weapon jammed as he aimed at her.

Footage shows the moment Cristina Fernández de Kirchner found herself face-to-face with the loaded weapon.

The former president was outside her home, surrounded by a mob of supporters who back her in her fight against corruption charges.

Police said the gunman, identified as a 35-year-old Brazilian man, had been taken into custody.

They are attempting to establish a motive for the attack on the left-leaning politician, who was Argentina's president from 2007 to 2015, and its first lady for four years before that.

Video circulating on social media shows the gun emerging from the crowd as Ms Fernández de Kirchner approaches. She initially appears confused by what is going on, ducking down to retrieve an object dropped on the floor.

In another video, people in the crowd appear to try to block Ms Fernández de Kirchner from the suspected gunman, who came within inches of her.

It was so scary, I couldn’t sleep at night thinking about it. South America is so dangerous right now, the worst it has been since the early 80s.
