Report: Man loses testicle after clubbing by Paris police
PARIS (AP) — A French newspaper reports that doctors amputated the testicle of a young man who got clubbed in the groin by a police officer during a huge Paris demonstration. Liberation quoted the 26-year-old as saying in an article published Sunday that he plans to file a lawsuit. The incident occurred during a spurt of violence at a mostly peaceful march Thursday by tens of thousands of people opposed to a government pension reform plan. The man said he was knocked to the ground, allegedly by an officer, while taking photos, and another officer charged at him and quickly planted a club in his groin. Video of the incident has circulated on social media and French TV.
