The incident was captured on CCTV and made headline news on French television channels.

Videos first published on Thursday by French news website Loopsider show the violent arrest of Michel Zecler, in the 17th arrondissement of the French capital on Saturday.

The footage shows three officers following Mr Zecler inside his music studio, where he is punched and beaten with a truncheon.

Mr Zecler told reporters on Thursday he had been walking around nearby without a face mask - against French COVID-19 health protocols - and upon seeing a police car, went into his music studio to avoid getting a fine.

However, the police allegedly followed him inside and attacked him.

"I was lucky enough, unlike many other people, to have had the video that protects me," he said.
