12 December 2019A man, who was walking bleeding through the streets of Les Lilas, on the outskirts of Paris, with obvious signs of "mental imbalance", died after being hit by the taser by the police.

Alerted by witnesses, the local police intervened late in the morning to stop the 36-year-old who threatened to "kill everyone". He shouted "Allahu akbar" and hit himself in the face with a brick, witnesses said.

Arriving at the scene, the agents used the taser to arrest him. The man went into cardio-circulatory arrest and died a few hours later in the hospital. An investigation has been opened.
