- A 30-year-old man is accused of biting a police officer who controlled him during the confinement in Nice.
- He disputes the facts and requests that the IGPN be seized.
- Pending his trial scheduled for May 29, he was incarcerated.
He is in prison awaiting trial and continues to deny the facts. A 30-year-old man prosecuted for biting a national police officer during a confinement check on a street in Nice on April 21, requests that the IGPN be seized.
"I just filed a complaint in this sense with the prosecutor of the Republic of Nice," said Monday morning at 20 minutes his lawyer Me David-André Darmon, confirming information from the regional daily Nice-Matin.
If there was indeed a bite, "it is because [his] client was trying to free himself from the arm of the policeman who was strangling him, it is in a reflex of survival, advises the council. He was the victim of violence. He was forced to bite. "
Verbalized shortly before by a municipal police officer
According to Me David-André Darmon, the thirty-something was traveling with his pregnant wife, without certificate, to go to a medical appointment with a gynecologist when this control degenerated. The two were on rue Arson, east of Nice. "They had already been fined by a municipal police officer a little earlier," he said.
The man, who asked for time to prepare his defense, is also being prosecuted for contempt. He is said to have insulted the representative of the police on several occasions, calling him in particular a "Gestapo suppôt". The policeman's lawyer assures him that his client even received two nudges. Me Adrien Verrier, interviewed by Nice-Matin argues "that no objective element comes to demonstrate the hypothesis of a blunder".
