“I wish these two officers a speedy recovery. I spoke to them on the phone, they are very shocked and off work. These are unjustifiable acts. I am a mayor who protects and will always be at the side of the officers attacked, even verbally, by systematically bringing civil action” reacts the mayor of Mayenne Jean-Pierre Le Scornet on his Facebook page after the violent attack suffered by two city agents on Tuesday in rue Charles de Gaulle.
This street had been closed to traffic to allow these employees to decorate it. Despite the prohibition to pass, a trader then arrived by car. Very upset, he got out of his vehicle and tackled one of the two officers to the ground, who suffered trauma to the shoulder, hand and calf.
The two municipal employees filed a complaint, the town hall of Mayenne became a civil party in this case.
