Savard-Tremblay says he fought back and shouted loudly in hopes of alerting people nearby but the individuals managed to knock him to the ground.
The MP says other people on the street gave him water and he went to the police station to report what happened.
He says he also notified security at the House of Commons and the embassy in Brussels.
Savard-Tremblay says he was not injured but is warning people to be extremely cautious when travelling abroad.
