On Sunday morning, a man parked his car near the entrance to the parking lot, causing a traffic jam. He refused to comply with police requests and attacked three officers.
A 32-year-old resident of Champigny-sur-Marne, in the Val-de-Marne, strangled a policewoman and injured the remaining two officers on Sunday morning, reports Le Parisien.
The injury was caused by a traffic dispute, according to police sources. At around 7:40 a.m., a policewoman was driving to work when she arrived at the public parking lot in the Bois-l'Abbé neighborhood and noticed a Renault passenger van parked near the entrance to the lot, causing a traffic jam.
The 27-year-old policewoman, who was in civilian clothes, asked the driver to move the vehicle. But the driver was moving boxes between the building and the car. According to the driver's sister, at the time, the driver was moving.
However, the driver did not heed the advice and he started insulting the policewoman. The young policewoman called for backup from her colleagues because of the threats. According to the source, the driver was very angry and threatened the officers in a loud voice, saying, "We're going to kill you, a bunch of nasty (merde) cops, and you're going to die."
At that time, the police tried to arrest him, but he tightly strangled the police officer after punching him hard. Gradually, the policewoman lost consciousness due to suffocation. The officers tried to get him to release the policewoman, but he tried desperately to break free from police control.
The police officers then used telescopic batons and defensive bullets to free the female police victim. She was injured in the attack, but was not hospitalized for treatment of her injuries. Eventually, the driver was arrested by the police. In total, three police officers were injured in the incident.
We have been condemning violent attacks against police officers for years," said Eddy Deboste, deputy general secretary of the local union of the Police Union of the Marne Valley. But these violent attacks are becoming more and more frequent and violent. We're not talking about an officer being attacked in the head, we're talking about the intent to kill an officer."
The driver is currently in custody. The Créteil prosecutor's office said that an investigation has been launched in the framework of "attempts to kill public authority workers. In addition, the driver's wife and two brothers were arrested for threatening police officers in the area where the attack took place.
