Controversy after the arrest of a nurse during the demonstration in Paris

A nurse was arrested Tuesday on the sidelines of the demonstration of caregivers in Paris for "contempt and throwing projectiles on the police", causing controversy on social networks.

A woman in a white blouse, pulled by the hair, during an arrest, will end up being evacuated with a bloody face during the demonstration at the Invalides. She will repeatedly claim her Ventoline.

"A woman, a nurse by profession, was arrested for contempt and throwing projectiles at the police," a police source told AFP while several videos of her arrest were circulating on Twitter. 

We see a woman wearing a white blouse arrested unceremoniously by the police when scuffles broke out when the procession of 18,000 demonstrators arrived, according to figures from the police headquarters, on the Esplanade des Invalides .

"A policeman hit by one of these projectiles will file a complaint"

On some videos, we hear the nurse asking for her ventoline, a drug used by people with asthma. Other videos show the same person a few minutes before his arrest throw projectiles towards the police.

"A policeman hit by one of these projectiles will file a complaint," the police source told AFP on Wednesday. At the end of the demonstration, the police prefecture reported 32 arrests linked to the scuffles.

A rally demanding the release of the nurse, in a context of denunciation of police violence in France, was held Tuesday evening in front of the police station of the 7th arrondissement in the presence of Eric Coquerel, Mathilde Panot and Danièle Obono, deputies of La France Insoumise. "Free Farida the nurse," tweeted their leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
