In Strasbourg, a 15-year-old young man was hit by a car on the night of December 31 to January 1. The teenager died. “The driver of the vehicle fled, he is of course wanted,” said Emmanuel Georg, departmental secretary of the SGP police unit union in Bas-Rhin, speaking to RTL.
This drama took place “in an apparently festive setting, there was no no urban violence at that time“, he explained this Wednesday, January 1. “I don't have much more information, I just know that, unfortunately, this young person died“, continued Emmanuel Georg at the microphone of RTL.
For several days, the Alsatian city has been experiencing an increase in public order disturbances. The worst was feared for this New Year's Eve night. Emmanuel Georg took stock. According to him, the results are “good”. Nearly 600 police officers and gendarmes were mobilized in the department.
“We have around forty police custody in progress, about sixty vehicles which were set on fire. We feared a lot more,” he stressed.
