This Sunday evening, a delivery man was beaten up in front of the entrance to the Brasco restaurant in Cergy (Val d’Oise). In addition to having been physically assaulted, Joseph, the victim, was told an endless stream of racist insults that the editorial staff of L’Indépendant refuses to transcribe or broadcast.
Recall of facts. This Sunday evening, Joseph shows up in front of the restaurant to pick up an order and ensure its delivery. On his bike, Joseph listens to music. But it is not to the taste of a customer who asks him to lower the volume. Joseph does so. But that is not enough.
“He started beating me …”
The rest, Joseph tells the microphone of BFM TV: “Out of kindness, I lowered the volume of my speaker. That was not enough for him. He said to me:” We must go down “. I refused. He came towards me (…) He told me. punched. Then I was on the ground. Because he came over me. He started beating me up. I said help. There is a lady up there, thanks to her , thank god, she was the one who alerted the police. I found myself covered in blood. And I didn’t say anything, I was really sad “.
The scene, filmed by a neighbor who lives above the restaurant, was widely relayed on social networks. The “videographer”, too, was the target of extremely violent racist threats and comments.
This Monday, several people gathered in front of the restaurant where the tension sometimes rose.
