Arrested in Yssingeaux, after 25 minutes on the run
The police also searched for the vehicle. As he was able to quickly leave the ponot basin, the gendarmerie was also called upon. The military have set up an “Around” plan, to crisscross the roads by mobilizing the Altiligerian companies.
The fugitive was intercepted 25 minutes later, at Yssingeaux on the RN88. He is a 63-year-old man with psychological problems. After a stint in police custody, he was handed over to the police, in charge of the case.
The patient trapped in the ambulance during all this crazy race, was taken care of by the firefighters, before being brought back to the Émile-Roux hospital.
