This Sunday, firefighters in intervention in the Bacalan district in Bordeaux were "taken to task by a gang of young people", reports Bruno Vincendon, deputy zonal secretary New Aquitaine Alternative Police CFDT.
They were the target of stone throwing, without being injured, and the same group "stunk" a bus of the TBM network which was nearby.
The firefighters filed a complaint.
On Sunday evening, around 7:30 p.m., police called to Gradignan received stone throwing when entering a building.
Some of their attackers were posted on the roof of the building.
The police were able to identify one of the perpetrators and returned to arrest him a little later.
The young man is in custody at the central police station on Monday.

“Bordeaux is not yet Chicago, admits Bruno Vincendon.

“The trafficking has also taken a hit and when we are there, we make them lose money,” points out the police officer.
The Alternative police union CFDT 33 is asking for police reinforcements in the field: "A permanent CRS company is good, but it is there for punching operations".
