The alleged events took place on the afternoon of Monday June 17, in this priority district of the Aude capital. The Carcassonne public prosecutor’s office lifted the suspect’s custody due to lack of sufficient evidence to characterize the offense.
Taken to task by young people from Viguier because he was following a 6-year-old girl a little too closely. Monday June 17 afternoon, it was around 5 p.m. that emergency services were alerted to intervene in the Viguier sector, where a man had just been hit by several young people from the neighborhood.
Injured suspect taken into custody at hospital
According to our information, this man had previously approached a 6-year-old girl to ask her for a cigarette, before urgently following her. We don’t really know what really happened. But it is this worrying and a little too conspicuous little act that would have justified young people from the neighborhood attacking this man, in particular striking him several times in the face. Did they know him? Had they ever seen him lurking around?
Taken care of by firefighters from the Carcassonne rescue center, the injured man was transported to the emergency room of the hospital center for treatment. He was also placed in police custody, in order to be heard after the complaint filed by the child’s parents for “attempted sexual assault”. Due to a lack of evidence to characterize these facts, the Carcassonne public prosecutor’s office finally decided to lift the suspect’s custody.
