Alleged unprovoked attack on Michel Zecler, who also alleges racial abuse, was caught on film
Four French police officers have been charged in connection with the beating of a black music producer a week after their allegedly unprovoked attack was exposed in a video that scandalised the country.
The footage showed police punching, kicking and using a truncheon on Michel Zecler, who alleged that they also racially abused him several times. Before the video came to light, the officers had accused Zecler, 41, of resisting arrest and attacking them.
