A man entered the police station of Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes) on Tuesday and was quickly arrested. He spoke to himself and mentioned Allah. As he was in France illegally, the man was taken to the Centre for Administrative Deportations (CRA) in Nice.
Two weeks after the knife attack on police officers outside the police station in Cannes, absolute caution continues to be the order of the day among the city’s police forces. On Wednesday, a young man forced his way into the police station via the motorbike access ramp just as a vehicle was entering the car park.
The police quickly spotted him and arrested him. The 24-year-old Djamel stated that he had been talking to Allah, but also to himself. He was taken into police custody so that investigators can determine his identity and intentions.
The suspect had already been arrested on Sunday for damage to property and taken into police custody, a police source pointed out. He was admitted to hospital following conducting an examination of his behaviour and was released on Tuesday. Actu 17
