Violent aggression against the backdrop of gang warfare between neighborhoods. A 20-year-old young man was seriously injured with a hammer to the head on the night of Friday to Saturday in Vigneux-sur-Seine (Essonne).
It is 10 p.m. on rue des Edelweiss when a local resident discovers a young man lying on the sidewalk. The victim suffered serious head injuries. The passer-by alerts the emergency services. The police and firefighters quickly arrived on the scene and took care of the victim.
The boy is conscious and says that a dozen young people from the Croix-Blanche district ambushed him before beating him up. “He took a hammer blow to the head,” said a source close to the case. This inhabitant of the buildings of the Prairie de l’Oly, was taken to the hospital. He suffers from head trauma and a broken hand but his life is not in danger.
Police rely on CCTV cameras
The investigators of the departmental security are responsible for carrying out the investigations. The perpetrators fled, without leaving a clue, before the arrival of the police. The neighborhood survey did not find any witnesses to the scene. But as the area is equipped with CCTV cameras, there is still a chance to identify the members of this gang.
“The rivalry between two rival bands remains one of the hypotheses, underlines the parquet floor of Evry contacted this Saturday. But for the time being, it appears from the file that this young man was alone when he was attacked by a group. The motive is still unknown. The investigation is continuing. »
For several years this sector of the outer suburbs has been the scene of settling of accounts in the Val d’Yerres between the Bergeries, the Croix Blanche and the Oly. Clashes with bare hands, with iron bars and firearms follow one another in these neighborhoods. Edifying example, last June shotgun fire and an unpinned grenade was thrown in the middle of the street. This real commando operation was carried out on two wheels in the Croix-Blanche district of Vigneux-sur-Seine.
