Social media has erupted in outrage after video of the incident was posted to Facebook this week. The video was first posted by Jean-Didier Bakekolo, who described it as a show of "unprecedented brutality."

"I explained them several times it was prosthetic…They insisted on searching me. I felt completely humiliated," the victim, François Bayga said.

Bayga, leads an active life despite his physical disabilities. According to photos on his Facebook page, he enjoys playing rugby and is a member of the wheelchair rugby club CAPSAAA-PARIS.

The incident was filmed at the Paris Gare de Lyon railway station.

Bayga told France 24 that he found himself witnessing a "police search of exceptional brutality."

Bayga explained to the French News station what led up to him being left in such a despicable manner by a group of public servants.

I was looking for the train to Gare du Nord. On the platform, three policemen were directed to me. They asked for my papers so I removed my backpack and I showed them. But I do not have my papers, I live in France but my request for documents is still pending in the prefecture.
