After three weeks of investigation, three minors, including twins aged 16, were arrested Monday in Rillieux-la-Pape near Lyon (Rhône).
The boys are suspected of having attempted to strip and then assault a bus driver on October 17.
The first would have forced the opening of the door of the vehicle, yet in the process of driving, in order to get on board, we learn from the Lyon police.
The driver reportedly stopped to ask him to exit.
The teenager reportedly refused, ignoring the remarks addressed to him and joining a group of friends sitting at the back of the bus.
A major intervenes to attack the driver too
This group would then have come up to the driver, threatened, moreover, by a forty-something accusing him of having risked crushing the minor, continues the security of the Rhône.
“One of the young people tore off the protective plexiglass.
A second was trying to steal the personal belongings of the driver while several young people physically attacked him, ”relates the Lyon police, specifying that the forty-something intervened and that the young people fled.
Before leaving, however, they took the time to throw stones at the bus.
Betrayed by their clothes
Thanks to the operation of the bus video surveillance and investigations, departmental security investigators have identified three suspects.
During the search of their home on Monday, they discovered clothing that could correspond to those worn on the day of the events.
The forties, also arrested, will be presented this Tuesday to the prosecution for an immediate appearance.
The three adolescents will also be presented this Tuesday afternoon in front of the minor prosecutor's office.
