A 22-year-old man at the centre of a political row over police violence in France has given a video interview making clear the scale of his injuries after a part of his skull was removed during a first round of surgery.

Hedi, an assistant restaurant manager in Marseille, said he was hit in the head by a blast ball fired by police in the early hours of 2 July and then held down and beaten by four to five officers.
