French National Police violently arrested a Hell’s Kitchen man after he tried to take a photo with an Israeli flag outside an Olympic venue, the wounded tourist told The Post.
Neil Frias, who is Jewish, was posing for a selfie with the Israeli flag outside the Olympic Aquatics Center in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis when a trio of cops began interrogating him and asked if he was “inciting a riot, or a protest,” he recalled.
The officers demanded to know why he was taking a picture, according to a complaint made to the Inspector General of the National Police about the July 30 incident.
The cops seized Frias’ phone and “tried to rip” his flag, according to the complaint.
Frias, 35, was sent on his way after the cops verified his passport and saw he had a ticket to attend the France-Japan water polo match that afternoon.
