The man suspected of having violently assaulted a homeless man in a squat in Brest (Finistère) on the night of August 16 to 17 was arrested on Monday.

Presented to the prosecution the next day, he was placed under a warrant, reports Côté Brest.

On the evening of the incident, a fight broke out between two homeless people in a squat in the city.

The attacker violently unleashed on his victim, aged 49, with a stick.

Hospitalized, she left with both broken arms and 47 stitches in her head, and was prescribed 45 days of ITT.

He promises him “violent reprisals”

While in police custody, the 30-year-old suspect admitted the facts.

The stick still stained with blood was found in the squat by the police during a search.

For his part, the victim filed a complaint for the attack but also for threats made in early September.

The 30-year-old would have promised him "violent reprisals" just before his arrest.

He will be judged in immediate appearance this Friday, September 16.
