A violent altercation… for a electric scooter. Monday 1uh August 2022in the morning, two men exchanged blows at the level of the Matabiau station of Toulouse. One of them was referred for aggravated violence.
A first punch
It is around 10 a.m. when a 45-year-old man rides his electric scooter on the station forecourt. Very quickly, he sees a group of people who seem to know him.
A 23-year-old man then goes to meet him and puts his hand on the electric machine. He insistently asks her to give it to him. Frightened, the forties received a violent punch in the face. Result: a broken tooth and pain in the cheekbone.
The victim gets up with a knife
Thrown to the ground, the victim takes a few seconds to get up before pulling out a knife and in turn hitting the crane of his attacker. The latter responds with a gas, directly attacking the eyes of the man on a scooter who nevertheless manages to flee.
Stunned at the sight of this scene, passers-by contacted the police to intervene as quickly as possible. Eventually, the young man was arrested and taken into custody. At the police station, he acknowledges the facts in part, but denies having wanted to steal the scooter. A story contradicted by the different versions of the witnesses. Drunk at the time of the events (1g/l of blood), the individual was referred on Tuesday August 2, 2022.
