New knife attack in Bordeaux. Around 4:30 this Sunday morning, at the quai Louis-XVIII, a brawl broke out between groups of minors and young adults, indicates the parquet floor of Bordeaux at 20 Minutes .
According to the first elements of the investigation, the fight "would be linked to the theft of a Bluetooth speaker, and opposed unaccompanied minors, or unaccompanied minors," miners "(unaccompanied foreign minors, arrived in France to take refuge, and who cannot prove their minority) and young adults ”indicates Frédérique Porterie, prosecutor of Bordeaux, to 20 Minutes . Two young men of Algerian nationality were stabbed, one being hit in the heart, the other in the arm.
The vital prognosis of the 23-year-old young man touched by the heart, was this morning engaged. But rebound, this afternoon the victim had escaped from the hospital. "Which suggests that the vital prognosis may not have been as serious as that" notes the magistrate.
"Increase in knife attacks in Bordeaux"
When the police arrived, one of the 18-year-old members of the group was identified as the stabber, and was arrested. He was heavily alcoholic during his arrest. An investigation of the heads of "attempted homicide", "violence with a weapon" and "theft", was opened by the prosecution of Bordeaux, and entrusted to the brigade of repression of attacks on persons. However, specifies the prosecutor, "we are trying to reconstruct the facts, because the suspect who is in police custody denies the facts, and gives a different version which we must establish. "
Frédérique Porterie confirms that this new attack occurs against a backdrop of rising violence in the center of Bordeaux. “Indeed there has been an increase in knife attacks in Bordeaux since the deconfinement. The profile of the people involved revolves a lot around unaccompanied minors, "miners", and young homeless adults, "often grouped in squats. "
Unaccompanied minors are adolescents under the age of 18, from foreign countries and arriving in France without a family.
We had thus identified seven knife attacks on the night of June 24 to 25, or another on June 31. During the night of last Thursday to Friday, three minors and isolated young adults, attacked passers-by on the Place de la Bourse, around 2:20 a.m., with glass bottles, then attacked the police when the police intervened.
"Before the confinement, they were content with" Zidane thefts ""
Even if there were already violent assaults before the confinement, "generally they were content with" Zidane thefts "as they say, that is to say that they divert the attention of tourists while others stole wallets or others. But for some time there have been more and more violent attacks, with a knife. The people involved are also often alcoholic.
Not all attacks are committed in the middle of the night or in the morning. "Robberies can now occur in broad daylight, and in the center, notes the magistrate, as could have been the case a fortnight ago rue Sainte-Catherine. "Frédérique Porterie specifies however that" one cannot put all the violent aggressions either on the back of these unaccompanied minors or young adults. "
The magistrate finally raises that “the investigations are complicated because often people do not speak, and that the victims do not file a complaint… And even when we think that they are on the verge of death, they flee from the 'hospital ! "
