A large police force was deployed on Friday May 7 at the end of the day, following what could have been a trivial traffic accident. Explanations.
Strong emotion this Friday, May 7 at the end of the day, around 6 p.m., when an unlicensed car suffered a serious accident on the public road which triggered a significant mobilization of police forces, crossing the city center with sirens blaring.
And for good reason, according to our information, the individual who was behind the wheel took his vehicle after a violent family altercation. The man, who was under the influence of alcohol and narcotics, apparently “lost control” and then lost control of his vehicle. A lack of control which could have been perceived by witnesses as an attempt to hit a group of children.
According to the public prosecutor who answered our questions this Saturday evening, “there is currently no presumption of intent to commit homicide in this man whose current custody will be lifted because he suffers from significant dependencies whose extent must be assessed”. “And that’s what we need to focus on.”underlined public prosecutor Eric Camous.
The fact remains that the suspect was found carrying several “bags” of cocaine and a knife, which he used to slash a witness who intervened, spontaneously, at the time of the car accident. It was too early this Saturday to estimate his bodily injury and to plan on the possible criminal consequences of the case.
