Traffic control has degenerated. Sunday at midday, the Lyon police used their firearm after a man rushed at them threatening them. According to Le Progrès , this motorist in his thirties first fled by car to avoid control, in the 9th arrondissement. Pursued, he finally stopped his vehicle and came out armed with an ax. He would have started running towards the police ...
The man, injured in the arm, was hospitalized without his life prognosis being compromised. Known for psychiatric disorders, he had to be placed in police custody as soon as his condition would allow it. Le Progrès specifies that two investigations have been opened: one for attempted homicide on persons depositing public authority, the other (entrusted to the IGPN) on the conditions (…) of the use of their weapons by police.
