Shortly before 6 p.m. this Saturday, a fight broke out at 111, avenue du Drapeau, in Dijon, in the Junot district. “The Junot gang was waiting for the Talant gang to fight,” explain the young people who took part in the clashes. “Talant comes to threaten us so we defend ourselves. The events are said to have taken place in two stages, but no injuries. The police officers, during their interventions, found themselves facing a group in tension which attacked them. They were the target of projectile throws. Nine people were arrested.
“This neighborhood has become unlivable. “
“It was still party tonight,” laments a shopkeeper. “The police intervened for the first time, but when they left, it started again. There was mortar fire, overturned trash cans … It’s been years that there is disorder in the neighborhood. The worst part is that it is young people that we have seen growing up who do that. “” I am no longer reassured, it is like that too often “, confirms another resident. “This neighborhood has become unlivable. “
A brawl two weeks ago in Fontaine-lès-Dijon
According to the young people, in addition to the mortar fire, there were also gunshots and Molotov cocktails, which the police did not confirm. They tell us that this brawl between Junot and Talant is not the first. Two weeks ago, they wanted to do battle, between the McDonald’s restaurant on Boulevard des Allobroges, and the Picard store, located opposite. Videos showed young people armed with iron bars and a few fireworks mortars, some wearing hoods.
