PSG fan
killed by the police
According to reports the plainclothes
policeman was attempting to protect a French supporter of
the Israeli team who was attacked by PSG fans outside the
stadium.
At first the policeman let off a tear gas canister to try to
disperse his assailants, then fired his gun, killing one man
immediately and injuring another.
Police alleged the PSG fans appeared to be far-right
sympathisers and were chanting "France for the French" as
they confronted the Hapoel supporter.
"(The officer) fired in legitimate self-defense in order to
protect his physical person. He had come to the aid of a man
in accordance with our rules of engagement, and he had no
choice but to shoot," said Patrice Ribeiro of the Synergie
police union.
