Responding to public backlash, the president's spokesman said that the suspension without pay and change in responsibilities for Alexandre Benalla was the "most serious" ever given at the presidential palace.
In addition, a judicial official said a preliminary investigation has been opened for "violence by someone charged with a public service mission" among other things. The official wasn't authorized to speak publicly and demanded anonymity.
The video of the May 1 event shows Benalla dragging off a woman then beating a young man on the ground.
