Tours: An investigation has been launched following an incident in which a TikTok user was injured in the eye during a demonstration

A 22-year-old TikToker named Enzo Gimgembre sustained an eye injury during a demonstration in Tours after a small group of riot police launched a dispersal grenade toward him. He stated he had attended the event specifically to film the proceedings. Authorities have opened an investigation into the incident following the reported injury.

Bias read (Progressive): The article centers exclusively on the protester's account of police violence without including any official police statement or counter-narrative, framing the state actors as aggressors against a young content creator.
