They accuse the police of having committed violence against them. Four people, arrested for violence against a person holding public authority, filed a complaint this Monday with the IGPN, the police.
The facts go back to the night of Friday to Saturday, when the police intervened after being called for night fuss in an apartment in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, where a party was taking place.
In custody at the 19th central police station
Seven young people were then arrested and placed in police custody at the central police station in the 19th century. An investigation into violence against a person holding public authority has been opened, according to the Paris prosecutor's office.
They all came out over the weekend, one of them with a simple reminder of the law, another with a procedure classified without result. The police custody of five others was lifted and they were summoned again on Monday.
That night at # Paris19, while they were intervening on a nocturnal noise, the local police were attacked by several dozen partygoers.

They did not show up, however. However, four of them went to file a complaint with the IGPN, according to the prosecution and their lawyers. These young people declare that they were victims of police violence during the evening and while in police custody.
Called for fuss
According to Me Camille Vannier, who defends one of them, a dozen young people were injured during the intervention of the police. Those taken into police custody also claimed to have been beaten and insulted at the police station.
A police source told AFP that the police who had been called for fuss had verbalized the owner. On leaving, they also arrested for contempt in the hall of the building a woman who had just cursed them.
"At that time, those who were in the apartment got out and attacked the police, including physically," says this source. One of them threatened to take the policeman's gun and shoot him in the head, the police vehicle was degraded. Reinforcements are then called and seven people are arrested, while two injured police officers are taken to the hospital.
"Shocked by what happened"
According to the prosecution, the police station of the 19th was removed from the investigation for violence against a person holding public authority, as requested by the defense of police custody.
"Our customers are all extremely shocked by what happened," said Mr. Vannier to AFP. They are delighted that the IGPN is taking up their case so quickly. Other complaints are expected to be filed in the week, according to the lawyer.
