A 22-year-old man managed to escape on Sunday night from the police vehicle which led him to prison, after leaving the Judicial City.
In the night of Friday to Saturday, while he spends the evening in discotheque, a brawl breaks out between him and a Nancy of 24 years against a background of jealousy and alcohol. The alleged perpetrator, in an irregular situation on the national territory, then draws a knife and stabs him about fifteen times his victim. Seriously injured, she is transported to the emergency room where she provides a precise description of her assailant.
He was promptly interrogated on Sunday and interrogated in police custody, and the man with a knife was indicted for attempted murder and placed in pre-trial detention. An escort of two policemen is in charge of driving to the prison of Nancy-Maxéville.
When they arrived in front of the prison at about 11.30 pm, one of the two policemen came out of the vehicle to signal themselves so that an officer of the penitentiary could open the lock giving access to the penitentiary. Only in the back of the vehicle, the alleged perpetrator manages to open the door and to flee on foot. With the two policemen at his heels.
A large police force reinforced by dog teams and the helicopter gendarmes of the Air Section of Metz, quadrille the urban area and the surrounding forest during part of the night. In vain. This Monday at the end of the day, the aggressor, considered dangerous, was still in the wild. "All means have been deployed and his arrest remains the priority," assured Nicolas Jolibois, departmental director of public security.
On the sidelines of the investigations to find the fugitive, an internal investigation will try to sift through the conditions of transfer of the fugitive.
