Overview
- Police fired LBD rounds during celebrations after PSG’s win on Saturday 30 May and a 14-year-old in Fontenay-sous-Bois was hit in the head and hospitalized with doctors warning of likely permanent vision damage.
- The parquet of Créteil confirmed on 4 June that it asked the Inspection générale de la police nationale (IGPN) to investigate the Fontenay-sous-Bois incident.
- The IGPN is also examining a separate Bobigny case after deputy Aly Diouara published a short video showing an injured adolescent holding a cloth to his eye following the same night’s events.
- Local officials stressed that LBD use is tightly regulated and that rules explicitly forbid aiming at the head to avoid serious injury, and the Fontenay-sous-Bois mayor has demanded that the full circumstances be clarified.
- No public criminal charges have been announced and investigators will now determine whether operational rules were followed, a finding that could shape accountability and public trust in crowd‑control policing.
