Around 11:30 p.m., the police wanted to carry out a check, as the curfew time had passed. But the driver, at the wheel of an Audi RS3 registered in Poland, continues on his way. The vehicle was then chased by the police from the BST (specialized field brigade) in the streets of central Bordeaux, according to a source close to the AFP investigation.

A second police crew, from the departmental intervention company, arrived as reinforcements to try to intercept it.
Wanting to escape, the driver hit one of the police vehicles and officials “fired”, hitting the driver in the chest, added the source close to the investigation, specifying that “ten bullets were drawn “.
The driver continued to drive for a few hundred meters before coming to a stop.
His vital prognosis was on Monday evening, but his condition has since stabilized. He is known to the police, in particular for hit and run offenses and violence. The other passengers, at least two, fled on foot. One of them was caught and taken into police custody.
An investigation was opened into the use by the police of their service weapon. An investigation for “attempted homicide of law enforcement officers” was also opened.
