Cinema scene near the A13 this Wednesday evening between Mantes-la-Jolie and Buchelay (Yvelines). A man was arrested after a chase with police.
Officials were first called following a vehicle theft in the Mantes-la-Jolie area, shortly after 9 p.m. In circumstances which have yet to be determined, a chase then began between the Bac (anti-crime brigade) police officers and the thief, who took all the risks to try to outrun his pursuers.
Officials targeted by gunfire?
It was then that the two vehicles collided, on the Mantes-la-Jolie exit ramp, a few dozen meters from the Buchelay tollbooth. According to several sources, the criminal even fired several shots in the direction of the officials. But none of them were hit.
During the accident, a police officer was injured in the arm. His two colleagues were unharmed but appeared psychologically scarred. The car thief, whose age is not known, was arrested. He was placed in police custody at the Mantes-la-Jolie police station. The accident and the arrest which followed disrupted traffic on the A13 towards Normandy as well as in the neighboring commercial area. By 11 p.m., calm had returned to this area.
