A bodyguard to France’s President Emmanuel Macron has been seen in a video wearing a police helmet and beating up a student protester.
His punishment, a two-week suspension, has provoked criticism of Mr Macron.
In addition, a judicial official said a preliminary investigation has been opened for “violence by someone charged with a public service mission” among other things.
The video of the May 1 event shows Mr Benalla dragging off a woman then beating a young man on the ground.
