This Wednesday morning, around 5:30 a.m., a tragedy occurred near Toulon station, boulevard Pierre Toesca.
A pedestrian, a 38-year-old man, died after being hit by a car.
A second person, a 33-year-old man, seriously injured, was quickly treated by the emergency services and transported to hospital.
According to our colleagues from Le Parisien, who obtained confirmation from the public prosecutor of Toulon Samuel Finielz, the drama is linked to a dispute, which would have taken place a little earlier inside the gay and lesbian club, the “Boy’s paradise.”
“A motorist deliberately drove his car into a group, killing one person and seriously injuring another. A third was slightly injured […] The individual first rushed towards a group of people, who narrowly got out of the way, said a Source close to the investigation. The driver, who had stopped about a hundred meters away, then reversed and deliberately hit the group, trapping two people under the car.writes the newspaper.
Still according to Le Parisien, “the trail of a homophobic crime has been ruled out for the moment.”
A 20-year-old man was arrested in front of his home in Six-Fours-les-Plages, identified thanks to his license plate noted by a witness at the scene.
A flagrant investigation for attempted assassination and assassination was opened.
