Olivier Beziade suffered a “very serious brain injury” after being shot from behind by a police officer using a flash ball gun during the yellow vest demonstration in Bordeaux on Saturday. The father-of-three is currently in an induced coma in hospital, according to his family. A shocking video shows blood pouring from Mr Beziade’s head as he is treated by paramedics.
Mr Beziade’s wife Cindy told French media: “I'm furious. This is unacceptable. I won't let it go. The pictures speak for themselves.
“The demonstration was calm until about 4.30pm. I was with my husband in Rue Sainte-Catherine.
“Then there was a bit of panic. We turned turned back to avoid teargas fumes and to go home. I turned first right, he took the first turning on the left.”
Mr Beziade was then shot by an officer with a flash ball gun, while another threw a stun grenade towards him.
