The Raid, supported by police officers from the Béziers police station, intervened on Monday for a madman who had taken refuge in his house in Villeneuve-lès-Béziers (Hérault).
The 51-year-old threatened to blow himself up.
After several hours of discussion, the Raid negotiator managed to make him see reason.
At his home, the police found a weapon and a gas bottle.
He had doused his home with gasoline.
Compulsory internee
The police eventually subdued him gently.
By court order, he was immediately interned in the Camille-Claudel psychotherapeutic center of the Hérault sub-prefecture.
