SHAMED French President Nicolas Sarkozy has had to apologise after his 15-year-old son threw a tomato at a cop guarding the Elysee Palace.
Louis and two pals launched an attack from the courtyard of the Paris residence, throwing missiles over a gate.
The woman was also hit in the cheek by a marble and paper. She filed an official report.
But the case was dropped after the president apologised in person.
Aides have been accused of smoothing over the incident as Sarkozy, 57, is up for re-election.
A source said: “It may well have been hushed up to save Mr Sarkozy embarrassment. These were not childish pranks — Louis is 15.”
Louis’s mum is the president’s second wife, Cecilia Attias, 54. He also has five-month-old daughter, Giulia, with third wife Carla Bruni, 44.
