During the night from Friday to Saturday, six police officers were violently struck by a motorist.

The facts take place around 2:15 am, at the Faubourg Bonnefoy, in Toulouse. In the middle of the night, the driver of a Renault Clio followed by the police tries to sow and takes all the risks to get there. During his mad race, he collided with the vehicle of the anti-crime squad for the first time. The police car rolls over several times. This first accident did not slow down the ardor of the driver who crashed head-on into another BAC car.

Six policemen were injured. The firefighters took care of them, before taking them to the hospital where they underwent a series of examinations. These officials finally came out this morning, they are not seriously affected.

Also at Salvetat Saint-Gilles

The two occupants of the car were apprehended, they were obviously driving under the influence of drugs. These individuals are currently being interviewed by investigators.

Around midnight, already, a man refused to be checked in the Bagatelle sector. He tried to run over the BST Mirail crew, before setting off at high speed. The police finally found him at Salvetat Saint-Gilles, in the west of the department. Three people get into this vehicle, two of whom are intoxicated. None have a driving license.

The Alliance Police Nationale 31 union calls for “judicial qualifications and heavy penalties commensurate with the facts for individuals who are ready to kill police officers so as not to be arrested”.
