A young man in his twenties was arrested Sunday in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray (Seine-Maritime) for the alleged assault of a firefighter, reports 76 Actu.

The suspect himself contacted the emergency services at around 6 a.m., explaining that his partner had suffered from discomfort during an argument.

But when the firefighters arrived, the couple was still in crisis and the rescuers tried to separate the man and the woman.

One of the firefighters was then allegedly beaten and threatened with death.
