There was a queue in front of the pharmacy in Guénange, Thursday April 2. Customers are served by a drive system to prevent the Covid-19 outbreak. A man in his thirties arrives and parks his car. He waits on the sidewalk. Then, for no obvious reason, he attacks another client. He insults him, tries to hit him. The victim flees and climbs into his vehicle. His attacker hit the body.
The dumbfounded pharmacist warns the gendarmes. A patrol arrives quickly. The alleged perpetrator wants to run away. The gendarmes in turn tell that he ran into them. A soldier barely has time to back off.

Woman and child in the car
A chase is launched between Guénange and Illange where the motorist will eventually lose control. The car crashed into the bucket of a company. The driver is arrested. He refused to submit to alcohol and drug testing. His wife and child were inside the vehicle.
While in police custody, the 30-year-old does not recognize all the alleged offenses. Besides, he wouldn’t really remember that moment. He claims that he was on the wrong medication that day and that the effects exceeded him.
