According to his lawyer, Aurélien Taché “was the victim of an assault”receiving “many blows, particularly to the head and face”which earned him two days of temporary incapacity for work (ITT). “These words, the violence of which he can only regret, were spoken (…) while he was in a state of amazement linked to the physical and psychological shock he had just suffered”, explained Jade Dousselin to AFP. The SGP police unit union in Niort will “ask at least a public apology if the facts are proven”, declared its representative Pascal Valès to an AFP correspondent. Contacted, the deputy did not want to speak.
