A 42-year-old man who was injured in a street fight in Cherbourg (Manche) in April 2021 was on trial for insulting police officers and a male nurse.
It must be said that he was intoxicated. Well… “intoxicated, but not drunk”, as he told the judge. On April 11, 2021, the police officers were called because two men were fighting in the street. One of the opponents, a 42-year-old Algerian-born man who was injured in the hand, lunged at the other and countered the blow with a punch. In view of his injury, the police officers brought him to the emergency room.
In the hospital waiting room he attacks the policemen, insults and threatens them: “I will find you, you bastards! You questioned a Muslim: you will go to hell!” He is frantic, the alcohol heats him up, and he also gets upset with the orderly who tries to calm him down so he can do his job. He does not succeed. He replies, “Shut up!”, whereupon insults and violent gestures ensue.
The criminal record does not speak for him. Between 2001 and 2020, he was on trial in Paris, Caen, Laval and Argentan for theft, a drug affair, gang related violence, drink driving and damage to property. La Presse de la Manche
