He pushes people into the Seine and sprays water on passersby and cyclists: Hanza's "jokes" end up in the police's sights

A 14-year-old French teenager known online as Hamza has sparked widespread controversy after a series of videos showing him pushing people into canals, spraying water at pedestrians and cyclists, and provoking police with water guns went viral on social media. The incidents, which include alleged acts of violence and vandalism, led to his arrest and multiple encounters with law enforcement since June 2025. Public debate has divided opinions, with some viewing him as a misguided teen seeking attention while others see his actions as indicative of broader societal decline. His father defended him as a 'good kid,' but his mother accused critics of having a racist motive. The case has entered national discourse, appearing on television debates and major media outlets.
