• The young man who had his hand torn off during the rave party in Redon filed a complaint.

  • Violent clashes had opposed the revelers to the police on the night of June 18 to 19.

  • The emergency response conditions are being investigated. 

His hand was torn off during the rave party held on the night of June 18 to 19 in Redon (Ille-et-Vilaine). Originally from Rennes, the young man of 22 years has just lodged a complaint for "willful violence with weapons or by persons holding public authority, and having resulted in permanent disability" as well as for "non-assistance to a person in danger", said Tuesday the public prosecutor of Rennes.

Violent clashes broke out that night between the police and the participants in the rave party organized in tribute to young Steve, who died after falling in the Loire during a police intervention on the evening of the Fête de la music 2019 in Nantes.

"For the moment, the etiology of the serious hand injury is not established," said Philippe Astruc.

Investigations are continuing in this direction as well as on the organization of emergency services.

Investigations into the emergency response

The Techno + association, which works to reduce the risks associated with festive practices, indicated that it had taken care of "22 victims mainly injured due to projectiles, de-encircling grenades and LBDs".

"There was a problem with this explosive device and there was no care for the injured by the firefighters," said Stéphane Vallée, lawyer for the victim.

"That there was no possibility for the emergency services to intervene on the spot seems quite incomprehensible to me," he added.

Two investigations for "unintentional injuries" and for "unlawful organization of a festive musical gathering" had been opened by the prosecution.

The prosecutor had the recordings of the calls to the firefighters seized and had several firefighters heard.

The young man injured around 3 a.m. in a field near the Redon racecourse was dropped off at Redon hospital at 3:36 a.m. by a young woman, according to the prosecution.

According to Techno +, the public authorities "refused the health care" of this 22-year-old, "forcing one of his friends to cover what was left of his forearm with a cloth to drive him himself. to the hospital ".

The young man was able to leave the clinic on June 23 and was prescribed a 90-day temporary incapacity for work (ITT).
