A 19-year-old was brought to Bordeaux on Tuesday evening for an indictment for attempted homicide on a person holding public authority.
He is suspected of having, while driving a vehicle, deliberately run into two police officers, who used their weapon in response.
The prosecution requested the provisional detention of this suspect, the only one arrested at this stage in this case, who was shot in the neck by one of the shots.
"Lightning acceleration"
Saturday around 11:40 pm, four members of a Republican Security Company (CRS) on foot patrol in the district of Saint-Michel, in the city center, were alerted by the noise of a Volkswagen SUV "traveling at high speed" in a one-way street, with "at least two people on board", according to the prosecution.
The police then approached the vehicle, blocked by another car, for a possible check.
But the driver reversed and maneuvered "to deliberately charge" on them "in lightning acceleration".
The suspect "well known to the police and justice"
Two CRS then opened fire seventeen times in the direction of the vehicle, which continued its course to the edge of the Garonne, a few hundred meters further.
There, the police, arrested a Bordelais, "well known to the police and justice", injured in the neck and who "tried to hide behind reeds".
The other individual or individuals present in the passenger compartment fled, and are currently being sought.
The judicial information must make it possible to determine the responsibilities of each person in the car, explained the prosecution.
Another investigation is being carried out by the IGPN into the use of their weapon by the police.
