During the riots of July 2023, in the fragile area of Pissevin in Nîmes, a police officer saved his life: his protective vest had stopped a bullet. An investigation was opened by the prosecution. Four people are in police custody.
His life was saved thanks to his bulletproof vest but he didn’t realize it right away. It was the redness and pain of the stomach that surprised the Nîmes police officer: after he intervened theduring the riots in the fragile area of Pissevin, on June 20, 2023 on the verge of Nahel’s death, a BAC (Anti-Crime Brigade) officer, felt that “got something“.
After examining his bulletproof vest, his colleagues found a warhead stuck inside the protective equipment. In one photo, you can see the tear in the fabric where the projectile entered the fabric.
In the middle of garbage fires and mortar fire, while the buildings of the DDTM (Department of Lands and the Sea Directorate) were on fire, it was difficult to find the explosion.
An investigation into the attempted murder of a public authority has been opened by the Nîmes public prosecutor’s office. She is coming forward. Four people have been in police custody in Nîmes since Tuesday 1 October. They were arrested by RAID agents and the legal police near CHU Carémeau, in the Saint-Cézaire region, at the entrance to Nîmes and near the Pissevin region. Among those arrested was the person suspected of being behind the shooting.
