一段视频显示法国防暴警察在巴黎暴力殴打一名26岁的街头医护人员，该视频在网络上广泛传播，社交媒体用户错误声称该医护人员因伤死亡。但这名街头医护人员仍然活着，并接受了法国24电视台的采访。
A video showing French riot police violently beating a 26-year-old street medic in Paris has gone viral, with social media users falsely claiming he died from his injuries. But the street medic is alive, and spoke to FRANCE 24.
这一谣言因当天同一地区发生的另一起事件而被助长：一名男子在同一区域因心脏骤停死亡，导致网民将这两起事件混为一谈。Vedika Bahl在“真假难辨”栏目中对此进行了解释。
The rumour was fuelled by confusion with a separate incident that same day: a man died of cardiac arrest in the same area, causing online users to conflate the two events. Vedika Bahl explains in Truth or Fake.
