The Senlis prosecution has opened an investigation, entrusted to the General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN), after the complaint of a young man for blows and racist insults during his arrest for driving without a license, learned franceinfo from a judicial source, Friday April 1, confirming information from the Parisian. “Three police officers from the Creil police station are targeted” by this IGPN investigation, said the public prosecutor of Senlis, Jean-Baptiste Bladier. “The complainant’s and the officials’ versions are obviously in opposition”.
On the night of March 12, at Nogent-sur-Oise (Oise), following a “refusal to comply”this young man was “taken to the ground and wounded in the shoulder” by the police of the BAC, according to the departmental director of public security, Eric Heip. “If it hadn’t been for this offense (driving without a licence) and this desire to get out of control, it would have happened more easily”he believes.
At Parisian, the young man, a 22-year-old student, said he continued on his way for 3 km after seeing the flashing lights of the police car behind him, but then got out of his vehicle with his hands raised. According to his story, his phone then fell out of his pocket. The police, believing in a thrown object, made the young man fall, hit him and one of them called him a “dirty bitch”according to his version of the facts.
“There was one who was necklocking me while another was hitting me. At no time did I show any hostility,” assures the student. Following his shoulder injury, he was notified of a temporary incapacity for work of 15 days, reports The Parisian.
