Residents of Las Margaritas, Mexico, dragged the mayor of their village, Jorge Luis Escandon Hernandez, out his office, tied him to a pick-up truck and dragged him on a road he failed to fix.
Reports say the residents, who are farmers, argued that the move was to force Escandon to fulfill his campaign promise; the second time he is being forced to do so.
Police were said to have intervened and freed him, though he did not suffer any major injury.
