The police forces intervened around 3 a.m. Sunday 21 February 2021, to arrest a man suspected of aggravated violence on his wife, in the 7e borough of Lyon (Rhône).
Before intervening, the police received the testimony of two people, who dialed 17. Witnesses explain having seen a woman in her underwear, on the street, being hit by a man.
The witnesses initially tried to intervene on their own, without being able to come to the aid of the victim.
Facial injuries
The police showed up at the couple’s apartment. The young woman presented several bruises in the face. But she indicates that she refuses to file a complaint.
The victim’s spouse, a man very unfavorably known to the police, was taken into custody. He was alcoholic when he got on board. The man denied the facts during the hearing.
He is taken this Monday, February 22, 2021 to the court for an immediate appearance.
If you are a victim or witness of domestic violence, contact the national helpline on 3919 or 17.
