“I found myself witnessing a police search of exceptional brutality. The officers forced this man to undress and left him struggling to put back his prosthetic legs… He was ill-treated to the point of being forced to sit on the ground partially undressed,” Bakekolo later told France 24.
The victim of the alleged harassment was later identified as François Bayga. Despite his physical disability, he leads an active life, according to his Facebook photos. He enjoys playing rugby, and is a member of wheelchair rugby club CAPSAAA-PARIS.
