The black music producer whose beating filmed Saturday in a studio in the 17th arrondissement of Paris caused a scandal, was also beaten up in the street by the police, according to a new video released on Friday by the Loopsider site. 

Michel Zecler, a black music producer whose beating filmed Saturday in a studio in the 17th arrondissement of Paris caused a scandal, was also beaten up in the street by the police, according to a new video released on Friday.

This new video, released by the site Loopsider, already author of the first revelations Thursday with a video viewed more than 14 million times, was filmed by a neighbor located high up.

"Seven punches in the face"

The scene takes place in the street, after the first violent sequence in the music studio.

A group of police officers intimate the order to leave the studio to Michel Zecler, by familiarity with him.

After throwing a tear gas grenade into the studio, the police forcefully pull him out and bring him to the ground.

The producer, who can be heard yelling, is repeatedly beaten by at least one plainclothes policeman, surrounded by half a dozen policemen.

"He is on his knees and (the policeman) punches him about seven times in the face. After (the policeman) got up, he hit so hard that he had pain in his hand", testifies the neighbor in the video.

"But (this policeman) must have understood at one point that he had done too much c ... because he put his hood on his own," adds the neighbor.

Other people are violently pulled from the music studio by the police.

"Sir, I didn't do anything, I swear to you that I didn't do anything", "you hit me, I didn't do anything at all", we hear.

Four police officers in custody

Four police officers were taken into custody on Friday afternoon in the premises of the General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN).

Three of them, at the heart of the scene that caused scandal, are notably heard for "willful violence, in a meeting, with a weapon and of a racist nature" and "forgery in public writing", according to the Paris prosecutor's office which opened an investigation Tuesday.

"I was told 'dirty nigger' several times and punching me," denounced the victim who filed a complaint.

The four officials have been suspended from their duties since Thursday.

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said Thursday evening that he would demand their "revocation", "as soon as the facts are established by justice".
