A boy named Hamza causes trouble in Paris. He is 14 years old. He built a fake customs post at the Canal Saint-Martin.
He calls himself 'Hamza the customs officer'. He asks people for 2 Euro. People must pay him money. If they do not pay, he uses a water gun. He sprays people with water. He sprays walkers and cyclists. He even sprays police officers.
The police caught the boy many times. There were 10 arrests since June 2025. People say he steals things. People say he is violent. A video shows him pushing a woman into the canal.
Politicians in France argue about the boy. Some say his actions are not bad. Others say he is a criminal. The parents defend their son.
The father says his son does nothing bad. The mother says the critics are racist. Now the case is famous in the news.
