A troubled Sunday evening not far from the Champs-Élysées. Shortly before 10 p.m., the judicial police received a call to report the suspicious actions of a man on Franklin-Roosevelt Avenue (VIIIth).
Wearing a yellow cap, the Spanish-speaking man of no fixed address, according to a police source, walked around with a kitchen knife with a blade of around 20 centimeters and threatened passers-by. No injuries were reported.
It was at the corner of rue Jean Goujon that the suspect was finally arrested by a borough patrol alerted a few minutes earlier. Ordered to surrender and under threat of a taser from the police, the man did not resist before lying face down on the ground and surrendering.
After a body search, the police found a kitchen knife in the pocket of the arrested man's down jacket. He would have confirmed that it was indeed a knife belonging to him. The suspect did not appear in the list of people wanted by the police.
