On the night of Saturday to Sunday, November 3, fourteen people were injured by travelers while they participated in an illegal rave party in an abandoned hangar, in Brie, south of Rennes.
In the middle of the night and while participating in an illegal rave party, dozens of partygoers felt obliged to call the police. At issue: the intervention of around thirty people from the traveling community who, exasperated by the noise of the sound systems, very violently invited themselves to the party. According to “Ouest-France”, some of them were “armed”.
Julien Valdenaire, captain and commander of the rescue operations, explained to Agence France-Presse (AFP) that the rave party took place in the immediate vicinity of a Traveler camp and that it had brought together some 4,000 people. The first altercations took place around 8 p.m. and the gypsies mainly attacked festival-goers near the site, as well as parked vehicles. The captain mentions “throws of projectiles” and “stones”, as well as “baseball bats”.
