Clément Méric, a 19-year-old left-wing activist, was left brain dead after a violent scuffle with far-right skinheads at around 6pm near Saint-Lazare train station in Paris. The aggressors have not yet been apprehended by the police.

According to French media, a scuffle took place between a group of left-wing individuals and far-right skinheads. Witnesses said that “ranger boots and bomber jackets-clad” skinheads started shouting at and shoving the group that included Méric.

The altercation escalated and after people joined the far-right group as backup, it turned into a full-fledged fight. During the fight, Méric was violently beaten by several skinheads, including one sporting brass knuckles, according to witnesses.
