A top female French comedian is facing a police probe after kicking a six-year-old boy in the stomach on the Champs Elysees.<\/p>\n
Nawell Madani is accused of assaulting the young boy, named locally as Djulian, after he attempted to take a photo with her, his family have said.<\/p>\n
Following the Monday attack, which occurred at around 10:30pm, the child was rushed to Necker Hospital before Madani handed herself into the police.<\/p>\n
According to the Paris prosecutor’s office, she explained that she ‘had been approached by children, had been afraid of being robbed, and had struck a child.’<\/p>\n
An investigation into ‘violence against a child under 15’ has since been opened.<\/p>\n
The boy’s father – a single dad to four sons aged six to 13 – told local media they had left a restaurant on the Champs Elysees before they ran into the comedy icon.<\/p>\n
According to the father, Bebethan, the children are well known in France for being TikTok stars and have over 10,000 followers on the platform.<\/p>\n
As they had been walking away from the restaurant, they bumped into a local fan named Nabil and struck up conversation when Madani walked past.<\/p>\n
