A Vaucluse interned after a series of calls to the emergency services

A 40-year-old resident of Bollène (Vaucluse) was interned in a psychiatric care establishment on Saturday.

The day before, the firefighters had carried out an intervention at his home.

The man had indeed telephoned the police and the emergency services, saying that he was going to commit suicide, says

A plastic gun

The forties suffering from psychiatric disorders had initially been reasoned with by the stakeholders.

Calm, he had returned to his accommodation but had come out with a firearm in his hand which he hid behind his leg.

The police present on the spot had in turn drawn their revolvers before noting that the weapon of the individual was plastic.

Examined by the doctors of the Smur on the spot, the occupant of the accommodation had refused internment.

So he stayed home.

The next day, however, he made a series of calls to 17 and 18. When help arrived, he accepted hospitalization this time.
