Truth or Fake - ‘I’m alive’: Paris street medic isn’t dead, despite viral claims he was killed by police
Antoine said he had stepped in front of a water cannon to identify himself as a medic, before being struck on the head with a baton: 'I stepped in front of it to show I was harmless - I had 'medic' written on an armband on my side. What I do remember is getting hit in the head from behind. I was half-unconscious, then something hit me in the back.'
