On Saturday afternoon until early evening, a festive event with a DJ took place in a second-hand shop on Rue Salomon-Reinach in the Guillotière district of Lyon.
Around 8pm, a heavily intoxicated man came to disrupt the party. When he was turned away from the shop, he allegedly shouted homophobic insults at two customers. The insults in French and Chechen were understood by a Ukrainian customer who was present in the shop.
A man then tried to reject the man. The Chechen then pulled out a switchblade and threatened the man who had prevented him from entering the shop.
The public prosecutor’s office of Lyon informed us on request that they had ordered his summons to the criminal court on November 15 “for public insult with a homophobic background, violence against an officer of the public authority and resistance against law enforcement officers”. Le Progrès
