The RATP opens an investigation after the broadcast, on social networks, of a video where we see an RATP security agent hitting a man on Tuesday September 19 in the evening at the Gare de l’Est, indicates France Bleu Paris. RATP is responsible “the manifestly inappropriate nature of the agent’s reaction”.

The molested RATP agent filed a complaint

The numerous reactions which followed the broadcast of this video pushed the RATP to open an investigation “to understand the circumstances of this arrest”, which took place this Tuesday around 9 p.m.

The security officer is a member of the GPSR (Network Protection and Security Group). He explains that “the individual allegedly kicked an agent, insulted him then threatened to kill him before making him fall on a traveler’s suitcases”. The arrested man was handed over to the police and the molested RATP agent filed a complaint, indicates the RATP.
