Spectator interrupts World Snooker final after jumping barrier

Mad stuff!

As with most of the matches at this year's incredible World Snooker Championship, the final is tight and tense, with the score at 4-4 between Shaun Murphy and Wu Yize.

2005 champion Murphy showed his usual grit to come back from 3-0 down to the 22-year-old Chinese player.

However, the battle was briefly interrupted by a shouting spectator, who had jumped over the barriers while Yize was at the table.

Thankfully she was stopped by referee Rob Spencer before being escorted out of the building.
