The traffic control organized Sunday east of Cannes had frankly gone wrong. A police officer in charge of containment surveillance, determined to fight against the spread of the coronavirus, had trouble leaving with a homeless man. Result: an open double ankle fracture. The homeless was sentenced to ten months in prison, reports Nice-Matin .

The imposing Romanian national was sentenced Tuesday evening by the criminal court of Grasse for "violence against a person holding public authority resulting in an incapacity for work of more than eight days" and "refusal to submit to the obligations of his state alcoholic ”. He is under a warrant for deposit.

At around 4 p.m. on Sunday, the SDF, who was traveling on foot, had fled to evade police control. Launched in a mad rush, a priori under the influence of alcohol, he ended up turning around to do battle with the official who followed him. A muscular face-to-face encounter and a fall later, the officer sustained a serious ankle injury.
