In Nice, a woman tries to swim away during an identity check

The night from Wednesday to Thursday was particularly hectic on the Nice seaside for the Police Rescue officers.

While they were checking a group of people on the Quai des Etats-Unis, in the extension of the Promenade des Anglais, a woman, without identity papers and in a state of drunkenness, fled by diving into the sea, learned

from a police source.

And two officials had to jump into the water to bring her back as she headed out to sea.

At the same time, the fire department was alerted.

Brought back to the mainland, the woman struggled and tried to take off again by the Mediterranean, specifies the same source.

Once again out of the water, she opposed her arrest.

And that's climbing.

She pulled a policeman's hair, while insulting the others, according to their account.

She ended up being mastered, but remained difficult to control.

In police custody, she even injured an official by scratching and biting his hand.

She risks being prosecuted for "violence against a person holding public authority" and "contempt and rebellion by a person in a state of intoxication".
