Gérard Darmanin, guest of “C à vous” on France 5 on Wednesday evening, wanted to speak directly to the victim. “I want to say to Jérôme, as to all those who are legitimately shocked by these images, that the resources of the police are very important. We will certainly find his attackers since there are video surveillance images”. The Minister of the Interior makes a promise: “We always find them. The police always win in the end”.

Jérôme, a father in his thirties, had gone out with friends for a drink in Place Saint-Pierre in Toulouse. On the way, he had met two young people who were traveling too fast for his taste on his scooter. He had pointed it out to them. It was then that he suffered an outburst of violence.

Asked by The Dispatch on Tuesday, the father of the family said he suffered from a fractured cheekbone and head trauma. He claims to be “morally broken”, to have “anger” in him and to have “a great incomprehension”. He adds that he will no longer go out in Toulouse at night because he no longer feels safe. His brother had already been attacked for a cigarette a few years ago.

The Toulouse prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation. The police are still looking for the suspects. The investigation is designated to the urban security of Tournefeuille.
