This video grab taken on Thursday from an AFP video shows CCTV camera footage, widely distributed on social networks, shows producer Michel Zecler being beaten up by police officers at the entrance of a music studio in the 17th arrondissement of Paris on Nov.

Four French police officers have been suspended and are in custody after a video that shows them brutally beating a Black man was posted online Thursday.

The video was posted on social media by Loopsider, a French digital news outlet, and has been viewed more than 8 million times.

The video shows Zecler is clearly overwhelmed, and Zecler's lawyer has told French media that a formal complaint has been filed against the police officers, who are also accused of fabricating evidence.
