The day after the attempted attack with a chopper in Chasse-sur-Rhône in Isère, the man arrested was placed in police custody on November 1.
The man, armed with a chopper and threatening passers-by in Chasse-sur-Rhône, south of Lyon, was taken into police custody on November 1. His motivations are not yet known and investigations are continuing, we learned this evening from the Vienna public prosecutor’s office.
“It appears from the first hearings that the respondent actually made reference to Allah, saying that it was his God but without claiming his actions in the name of religion. He would also have made inconsistent comments.”, explains Audrey Quey, Vienna prosecutor
The national anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office, informed of the facts, did not take up the matter.
The events took place around 3 p.m. this Tuesday, October 31, not far from the station in the town of Isère. The man was in the industrial activity zone and threatened to kill passers-by and employees of a company. The gendarmes, who intervened quickly, tried to control him first with an electric shock gun but that was not enough.
A soldier then opened fire, wounding the 30-year-old in the hand and thigh. He was taken care of and airlifted to Lyon Sud hospital.

“He is not a resident of the town but he was seen several times this afternoon in the industrial zone“, confirmed Christophe Bouvier, mayor of Chasse-sur-Rhône. He would not have attempted to enter the company’s premises.
Two investigations have since been opened:one, against the accused, the head of violence with a weapon, entrusted to the Vienna research brigade. The other, following the shooting of the gendarme, was carried out by the Grenoble research section“, indicated Audrey Quey, public prosecutor of Vienna.
In a press release published this Tuesday, October 31, the prosecution indicates that the man has already been convicted six times and suffers from psychiatric problems. He had been presented the day before to a liberty and detention judge in Lyon, following acts of violence with a weapon. He had been placed under judicial supervision even though the Lyon public prosecutor’s office had requested pre-trial detention.
