Protests and clashes erupted in the suburbs of Paris as violent demonstrators protested over the assault of a young black man who was allegedly anally raped with a baton while being arrested.
The rioting started after a black youth worker named Theo police officer sodomised him with a baton. Theo required surgery after his arrest on February 2 in the “3,000” estate in the gritty suburb of Aulnay-sous-Bois.
Rioters were seen chasing a police car down the street of Bobigny.
