A 30-year-old man died this morning in a Paris hospital after being admitted yesterday with serious injuries. He received about 10 electric shocks with a stun gun during his arrest by police in Montfermeil, a northern suburb of Paris, AFP reported, citing the Bobigny prosecutor’s office.
According to initial data from the investigation of the prosecutor’s office in Bobigny, six police officers used tasers (electric shock guns) in the northern suburbs of Paris. This source also understands that 18 police officers were sent to the scene to deal with the incident at a grocery store in Montfermey yesterday. The suspect was “in a state of overexcitement” and “aggressive”.
The man, born on January 1, 1994 in Martinique, a French overseas department, was admitted to a Paris hospital in a coma following his arrest. An autopsy will be performed on Monday.
Of the 18 police officers who arrived at the scene, six, according to prosecutors, used stun guns. The initial investigation indicates that about 12 shots were fired. A source familiar with the case reports that the man suffered two cardiorespiratory attacks before being hospitalized in a coma.
