According to L'Est Républicain, the man took advantage of a trip to the toilet to leave the three prison officers who were escorting him. Pushing them back violently, the inmate allegedly injured a guard in his escape.

He then managed to cross the highway lanes before disappearing into the darkness. The events took place around 8:30 p.m. The detainee's convoy had left the Besançon courthouse before 8 p.m.
