He ran a red light in front of a police car.

The pretext for the arrest of this 46-year-old man on Friday night in Toulouse could make you smile, especially since he drove drunk, without insurance or license.

But the opening scene is a lot less funny.

While they checked the offender for a long time and noticed that he was also driving with a machete placed on the passenger seat, the police received a radio call for the assault of two women in the Arena sector.

By a man whose description matched their drunk driver.

With fists

A few minutes before, in the Arena district, he had had a problem with a young girl whom he reproached for having brushed against him on a scooter, and with a passerby who had intervened.

He then hit the two women with his fists, before leaving, then coming back to threaten them with his machete.

The two victims were prescribed three days of ITT each.

As for the alleged aggressor, he was referred on Monday to the prosecution for a judgment in immediate appearance.
