Just remembered a similar story that happened to a French friend of mine in Paris. He was on in scooter heading home at 2am on a Sunday morning. At a roundabout he's pursued and told to stop by guys on motorbikes, he goes faster and tries to flee, as far as he's concerned those guys are out to mug him. They make him fall, he breaks his arm and it turns out that they were police in civilian clothes, stopping him for no real reason... They wanted to arrest him, he protested and knew his rights etc. + his dad was a police officer. I think he must have got compensation but at the end of the day he got really frightened and broke his arm and scooter.
