Volkswagen Group CEO Hans Dieter Pötsch was the target of a cake toss. A dozen activists were protesting against the automaker's new plans in China.

The protesters were quickly escorted by security agents after interrupting the speech of the group's boss, who has not yet commented on this hostile act."The super-rich behind the Volkswagen Group are making climate-damaging decisions that the rest of the population will have to assume," the activist alliance Last Generation Uprising said.
