A crew of the Nîmes national police had to use tear gas in order to get out of a very tense situation. They checked a 12-year-old miner around one in the morning from Saturday to Sunday.

Quickly, around thirty people surrounded them and would have appeared more and more threatening. The police officers then used a tear gas canister to escape from this hostile crowd. There were no injuries or arrests.

Police already thrashed fifteen days earlier

The events took place near the Clos d'Orville district and the Jean XXIII tower. Two weeks earlier, in the same district, the municipal police of Nîmes had wiped stone throws after discovering drugs.
