An individual, implicated in a case of domestic violence, attacked a police officer on duty at a police station in La Rochelle this Tuesday afternoon. According to information from Europe 1, the suspect, of French nationality and unknown to the police, in turn wanted to file a complaint against his wife for domestic violence.

The attacker, described as "very agitated", "refused to sit down". Helped by his colleagues, the policeman managed to ward off this attack which could take on a criminal nature.
