A man gets out of his car, and after the police ask him to get into the vehicle, the latter push him towards the passenger compartment by hitting him. According to Dominique Laurens, “the couple went shopping without an exit permit. During his police custody, the man admitted to having had inappropriate behavior. He would have insulted and spat on the police. " Neither the police nor the motorist filed a complaint, but the Marseille prosecutor's office opened an investigation to carry out certain verifications.
