The afternoon of the 27th of April 2024 was somewhat chaotic in Bosc-Le-Hard. A man from Gambia, who was under an obligation issued by the prefect of the Eure department to leave French territory, got furious.
After an argument started in a bar, he allegedly pulled out a knife and shouted Allah Akbar.
He was completely confused and had apparently demanded drinks and food from the guests. He then became very angry and moved on with his knife.
The customers were able to subdue him, while the police took him into custody and brought him to court in Dieppe.
He appeared in court the next day but remained silent in front of his judges. Apparently, he did not want to comment on his situation, the reasons that had led him to Bosc-le-Hard or his behaviour.
The public prosecutor demanded a prison sentence of eight months without parole and a permanent ban from French territory.
The judges considered that the threats and theft of which the defendant was accused could not be sufficiently proven, but he was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment for carrying a weapon and not leaving French territory. He will therefore spend his last days on French territory behind bars.
