No injuries

Once the BST left, a dozen people in black would then have attacked the two agents.

On a video shared by Matthieu Valet, the deputy national secretary of the Independent Police Commissioners Union, we can see that one of the officers was thrown to the ground after being kicked.

The other received several blows while trying to push the gang away.

The two police officers were not injured.

An investigation was opened by the Bobigny prosecutor's office and a suspect was arrested the following night.

These facts took place when a police station had been attacked in Champigny-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne) on Sunday and a police officer had been assaulted the day before in Saint-Ouen (Seine-Saint-Denis).
