Paris: A man with an electronic anklet, a petrol canister, a gas cylinder and a Quran is arrested near the Elysee Palace while trying to make revelations to Emmanuel Macron as a “prophet”

The man had a petrol canister and a gas cylinder in his vehicle, both of which he said were empty, as well as battery cables. This necessitated the deployment of specialists from the central laboratory to investigate the suspicion.

The explosives experts carried out an examination of his car at the same time and did not discover any dangerous objects. According to a source familiar with the case, there was a Quran and other Quranic items in his vehicle.

According to the man’s explanations, he wanted to drive to the Élysée Palace and ask for a meeting with the President of the Republic to make revelations to him personally as a “prophet”, according to a source familiar with the case.

Faced with this escape, the man was therefore taken into police custody. He was then taken to the forensic medical unit before being transported to the psychiatric infirmary of the Prefecture of Police (I3P) in Paris. Actu 17 ; Le Parisien
