Nearly 150 people demonstrated, this Saturday in Stains (Seine-Saint-Denis), in support of a motorist seriously injured by bullets, just like the passenger in his vehicle, by two police officers during an intervention.

The demonstrators, mainly relatives, strolled on the boulevard where the events had taken place during the night from Sunday to Monday, and many wore t-shirts with the inscription “Droit de justice pour Nordine”.

The victim in "critical condition"

"My cousin Nordine was the victim of an attempted murder by the BAC in Stains," said Saya, one of the organizers of the rally. He "is 37 years old, he works, has a girlfriend, he has his hand on his heart", also assured the young woman, adding that his life is no longer in danger but that he remains in "critical condition". Monday around 1:30 am, a crew of the anti-crime brigade (BAC) tried to stop the vehicle of the couple, who tried to evade control, according to a source close to the investigation questioned.

A video from the media "L'écho des banlieues", widely shared on social networks, shows two police officers firing eight times in the direction of the car.

The driver received several bullets in the thorax, arm and pubis, while the passenger was injured in the back, according to the Bobigny prosecutor's office.

The police were also injured, more lightly.

"Why did they shoot?

We wait for justice to do its job because there, it is abused ”, indignant Fatiah, member of the family.

“Fortunately there are videos.

"

A complaint filed

The two police officers, 27 and 30 years old, heard for "attempted murder" by the IGPN (General Inspectorate of the National Police), came out free from custody on Tuesday.

Judicial information should be opened "next week", said the prosecution.

The family's lawyer, Yassine Bouzrou, said he had filed a complaint for "attempted murder" and "forgery" and requested a change of scenery.

The driver and his passenger are also targeted by an investigation for "refusal to comply" and "attempted homicide of a person holding public authority", carried out by the judicial police.
