In a video spreading on social media, while Eden was having a heated argument with three police officers, a male officer pushed Eden with a tear gas launcher, and a female officer then struck him with a baton.
When an agitated Eden kicked the female officer, the male officer fired a tear gas canister horizontally at Eden's face from a distance of about 1.8m. Eden collapsed on the road and was unable to move. He suffered a broken jaw and damage to almost all of his upper teeth and some of his lower teeth.
Mathieu Moro, a teacher who witnessed the situation, told the NYT that Eden did not immediately leave the scene even when the police fired tear gas. Subsequently, officers approached Eden and forced him to stand up, which led to a physical struggle.
Since last month, 8,000 students have been arrested during the protests, and more than 1,000 people, including police officers, students, and faculty members, have been injured. Criticism has emerged that the police are using excessive force against unarmed students by employing controversial suppression methods such as flashbangs.
This reminds me of the image of Lee Han-yeol from the movie '1987'.
