Protests and riots erupted in a Paris suburb following the sexual assault of a 22-year-old black man who allegedly suffered at the hands of four “racist” police officers during a routine ID check. Riot police made 24 arrests following a third night of violence on a housing estate in Aulnay-sous-Bois, north of Paris, following the sexual assault on the black youth worker. One officer has been charged with ‘rape’ after he allegedly stuck a telescopic baton into the young man ripping a four-inch tear along his rectum. The other three officers have in been charged with ‘deliberate violence’, and will face trial. All four officers, who have denied the charges, have been suspended. RT reports: Scenes of burned-out cars, shattered shop windows and armed riot police combing through Seine-Saint-Denis by night could be seen on videos uploaded by RT’s Ruptly news agency. Protesters also used fireworks and lit fires to vent their outrage at the incident, in which the man, identified only as “Theo,” was beaten and then had a police baton allegedly pushed into his anus on Thursday.
