It all starts with two young people who want to fight a police crew and ends with an injured police officer and a perpetrator of violence in police custody. The evening was not the calmest, this Monday evening, Gagarine city in Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne).
Initially, the police at the city police station were attacked by two young people, “who insulted them, threatened them then fled while alerting other individuals in the area by shouting, thus warning them of a police presence in their neighborhood,” reports the Alliance Police Nationale Val-de-Marne union on Facebook.
The young people manage to escape, but one of them is recognized later in the evening, rue Truillot. The crew then tries to arrest him, but he tries to escape again. The young man runs, while renewing his threats, continuing the insults he started earlier. Followed by a group of young people who accompanied him, the police use their tear gas canister.
When one of them succeeds in stopping the person who insulted them, the attacker physically attacks him. He does not hesitate to punch the police officer, particularly in the face, who protects himself with his hand.
“The accused tried everything to escape control and his blows caused significant injuries to the victim police officer, who suffered facial wounds and a probable broken finger,” specifies Frédéric Le Coënt, zonal delegate of Alliance 94, which provides “all its support” to the injured police officer, “congratulates the colleagues” who were able to control him and announces that it “will carefully follow the judicial decision which will be decided in the context of this violence against from our colleague from department “.
Despite the hostility of the group of young people present around this scene, the police managed to arrest the perpetrator of the violence, take him out of the city and place him in custody at the police station.
The author, who lives in the neighborhood and is known to the police, is still being questioned for these acts of death threats, rebellion and violence against a person holding public authority. The injured young police officer's temporary interruption of work, already set at 7 days, could be increased due to his finger injury.
