It was not yet 7 p.m. but the night BAC had already started on Sunday.

While on patrol, the police of Rennes saw a Maserati vehicle that had been stolen a week earlier in the Breton capital.

BAC men wait for the driver to stop to refuel the Italian luxury car at a gas station in Noyal-sur-Vilaine, east of Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine), in an attempt to intercept it.

Dragged 40 meters

While he has the gas gun in his hands, the driver sees the police.

He drops the gun and tries to flee to a second vehicle nearby.

One of the BAC officials runs after him and clings to him as he climbs into his accomplice's big car.

The vehicle starts and the policeman hangs on.

He will be dragged about forty meters by the car before letting go.

Suffering from a broken hand and a leg injury, he was taken to hospital.

Entrusted to the departmental security, the investigation was opened for intentional violence with a weapon by destination and refusal to comply.

A few hours earlier, a daytime BAC team had already been the victim of an attempted homicide in the town of Chantepie after another refusal to comply.
