Miscellaneous – Justice | Cycling race: the rescuer manhandled by an octogenarian

Through the voice of his counsel, the victim intends to make this trial an opportunity to raise “an official protest by rescuers against the behavior of individuals who do not want to admit the evidence of the collective interest of Civil Protection”. And particularly towards those who “do not want to recognize that they did not have a civic behavior, citizen”.

Faced with the judge, this Wednesday, the defendant, 81 years old, with a clean record, seems lost. By his admission, he does not understand why he received a summons to appear at the Thionville criminal court. It is up to the president to remind him of this day in September 2019, when he takes part, in the public, in a cycling race.

An event during which two sportsmen fall to the ground, immediately taken care of by two volunteers from Civil Protection. One of these volunteers, a nurse by profession, sees a man coming to her side from the ranks of the public. Which claims his past as an amateur cyclist but experienced, with his thirty years of practice. He says he knows how to react to such a situation.

Refusing to leave the premises, despite insistent requests from the nurse, the retiree insulted him. The medical professional says he pushed her; 3 days of ITT will be issued to him). He denies having jostled her.

90 day fines at 7 € required

The sobs of the octogenarian, at the bar, do not move anyone. For the public prosecutor, faced with the offenses (contempt and violence) accused of Illangeois, a sentence of general interest – even a citizenship course – does not seem to correspond to an adequate criminal response so that the latter realizes the scope of his attitude. 90 day fines of € 7 each are then required.

Deliberated on September 17.
