Thionville. He hits the policeman who escorts him to the hospital because he is afraid of injections

On August 7, 2022, it was 6pm when a passerby called the police. A man cycling in the opposite direction on the Beauregard Bridge in Thionville was throwing stones at the cars. Police officers find a very angry man, his bicycle in hand. His breath is heavy with alcohol and his words are incoherent. He yells and gestures, then throws his bicycle into the grass when the police start searching him. Forced to chain him, they decide to take him to the hospital for exams. The 34-year-old resident of Yutz does not take off. He insults them profusely then, once at the CHR in Bel-Air, the thirty-year-old physically assaults the escort. Since he refuses to be picked up, he kicks one of the police officers. “It’s because I’m afraid of injections. I have a phobia of blood tests, “the defendant told the Thionville courthouse bar on 12 September.

And to resume: “I have never thrown stones at the machines”. “You do not appear before this court for throwing stones, but for having insulted and exerted violence on police officers,” reformulates the president of the court. “In the hospital the tension should have subsided but we have someone who goes crazy and adds another layer to kicks,” sums up Brice Partouche, prosecutor, who requires three months of imprisonment. Or the sentence pronounced by the court, in the light of a report that reports six mentions and five convictions for similar acts.
