Al-Marsad Newspaper: A young Frenchman who was with Nael Al-Marzouki, who was killed by the police, and who caused massive protests in France, recounted the details of the incident.
According to the British “Sky News” network, the young man said that he, Nael and a third friend borrowed a “Mercedes” car and decided to go for a tour around Nanterre in Paris, and “we were not under the influence of any alcohol or drugs.”
He pointed out that they noticed police motorcycles following them to stop the car, then an officer approached the window and asked Nael to turn off the car, threatening to shoot him.
He continued, “The officer hit Nael with the butt of his gun, then the second officer arrived, threatening: Don’t move, or I will shoot you in the head.”
He added: The first officer hit Nael again with the gun, so his foot was released from the brake, which led to the movement of the car, so the second officer fired bullets.
The young man described Nael’s condition after the shooting, as “he was in pain and trembling,” and continued: “I was afraid. I got out of the car and ran away. I thought they might shoot me.”
It is worth noting that the incident that occurred last Tuesday sparked a wave of anger across France, as demonstrations and riots erupted in a number of cities.
And the French police arrested more than 1,300 people during the fourth night of the riots, while the family and friends of the young man, Nael, gathered, on Saturday, for his funeral in a suburb of Paris, where he died.
