Iran’s exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi was splattered with red liquid as he left a building after a news conference in Berlin.
Pahlavi was leaving Germany's federal press conference building on Thursday when the incident occurred.
He appeared unhurt.
Police said the liquid appeared to be tomato juice.
The alleged perpetrator was immediately detained by police.
Pahlavi, who has been in exile for nearly 50 years, is the son of the former shah, was so widely hated that millions took to the streets in 1979, forcing him from power.
Pahlavi is trying to position himself as a player in his country’s future.
