1118. Abū Az-Zāhirīyyah said: "We were with 'Abdullāh bin Busr — a Companion of the Prophet ﷺ — on Friday. A person came, walking (stepping) over other people's necks, so 'Abdullāh bin Bisr said: 'Once, on a Friday, when the Prophet ﷺ was delivering his Khuṭbah, a person came walking over other people's necks. The Prophet ﷺ told him: "Sit down, for you have annoyed (other people)." (Sahīh)
1118 - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ صَاحِبِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَتَخَطَّى رِقَابَ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُسْرٍ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَتَخَطَّى رِقَابَ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اجْلِسْ فَقَدْ آذَيْتَ»

Coming late for Friday prayer and then stepping over the shoulders of others to reach front rows is a reprehensible act. It troubles other worshipers and is forbidden.
