He tried to escape a police check while driving a stolen car.
An escaped detainee was arrested on the night of Friday to Saturday in Nancy, after running into a policeman who was not injured, we learned this Sunday from the Nancy prosecutor, François Pérain .
The man first fled to avoid being checked by a team of three police officers from the anti-crime brigade (BAC).
Hampered by a vehicle traveling in his lane, the fugitive was caught by the police who were on foot.
While trying to leave, he forced one of them to "step aside" so as not to be hit, according to the magistrate.
"Psychological Shock"
This policeman then made "use of his service weapon", relates François Pérain, specifying that "neither the policeman nor the driver" were injured.
However, the agent benefits from a one-day ITT due to the “psychological shock”.
At the end of a new chase, the driver ended up being arrested and placed in police custody.
Aged about 30, he had escaped from the semi-freedom center of Maxeville, in Meurthe-et-Moselle, on Friday.
He was serving a one-year prison sentence for burglary and driving without a license and another 4 months in prison for theft and driving without a license.
In a press release, the SGP Police FO Unit union in Meurthe-et-Moselle gave “its full support” to the policeman “whom this determined individual deliberately tried to hit”.
“Despite our numerous alerts, refusals to comply continue to increase to the detriment of the police and the population.
When will there be real measures to protect the police and their fellow citizens?
asked the union.
