The LFI MP for Essonne writes that a student is “pinned to the ground and arrested inside the grounds of the school” (translated) at the Monge lycée. The 18-second video, filmed through a fence, shows several police officers in dark uniform bent over a person held on the ground behind waste containers, without showing the person's face, a blow or an injury. No authority comments and no source gives the reason for the arrest. Severity: that of the gesture described (student pinned to the ground according to the MP, person held on the ground in the video), no injury being reported.

On Monday 28 September 2026 at 11:48 a.m. (Paris time), an LFI MP for Essonne posts on X a video with these words: “This is what the ‘securing’ of lycées looks like. A student pinned to the ground and arrested inside the grounds of the school, at the Monge lycée in Savigny-sur-Orge.” (translated) She adds that “the choice could have been made to listen to the high-school students” (translated).
The video, shot on a phone through a fence, shows a roadway, pink waste containers and, behind them, several police officers in dark uniform bent over a person held on the ground; passers-by look on in the distance. No face of the person arrested, no blow and no injury is visible, and the footage does not show the start of the arrest.
France 3 Paris Île-de-France picks up the message in its live coverage of the day on lycées in Île-de-France, adding nothing about the scene: it is the same source, relayed.
