A student suffered convulsions after inhaling tear gas during an arrest on Tuesday, October 6, near the Flora-Tristan high school in Noisy-le-Grand, Seine-Saint-Denis. According to a police source, the teenager inhaled tear gas sprayed by officers during the incident. Several widely shared videos on social media show the young man on the ground at the top of a staircase, with two police officers holding him by the shoulders and guiding him down the stairs before placing him against a tree while waiting for emergency services. Another clip shows the teenager strapped to a stretcher while still experiencing convulsions. He was eventually taken by ambulance to the hospital. A person present at the scene expressed concern about the young man's health, repeatedly asking if his condition was normal and fearing he might be dying. According to the police prefecture, the teenager was "arrested following mortar fire." He was described as "severely affected" and was "immediately transported to a hospital by the firefighters." According to several witnesses cited on social media, the teenager was exposed to tear gas while he was surrendering. Later in the day, the prosecutor's office in Bobigny indicated that "his condition does not raise concern," according to Le Figaro. In a tweet on X, LFI deputy Thomas Portes expressed outrage at what he called "unacceptable police violence." "Who can think that dragging a teenager to the ground and causing him to convulse for 15 minutes is an arrest," he wrote. The incident has sparked debate about the use of tear gas and the treatment of individuals during police interventions. While authorities have downplayed concerns about the young man's health, the footage and reactions from witnesses have raised questions about the proportionality of the force used and the potential risks associated with tear gas exposure.
