Violent protests have rocked France after the police killing of a 17-year-old during a traffic stop.
The civil unrest forced French President Emmanuel Macron to postpone a trip to Germany.
"Don't move or I'll put a bullet in your head," the passenger claimed the officer said, according to Sky News.
A person passes by a looted shop in a Lyon street during violent protests on June 30, 2023.
"Faced with these savage hordes, it's no longer enough to call for calm, it must be imposed," the statement said.
