A refusal to comply almost ended very badly. This Friday afternoon, a police officer from the town of Tourcoing was injured by an individual wanted by the Belgian police, after refusing to comply, reports La Voix du Nord. The scene occurred in Halluin, in the North, during a check at the border with Menen (Belgium). The driver knocked down the police officer, but the suspect was immediately arrested by the Tourquennois police officers.
Still according to the daily newspaper from the north of France, the police officer, injured in the legs, had to be hospitalized. “This afternoon, a police officer was injured by an individual wanted by the Belgian police who refused to comply in Halluin, in the North,” relayed Gérald Darmanin, Minister of the Interior and former mayor of Tourcoing. The suspect was arrested by the courageous Tourcoing police officers and will be brought to justice. I give my full support to the injured police officer. »

A video of this episode was relayed on social networks. In the images, a car is actually surrounded by several police vehicles, near a roundabout. The arrested motorist suddenly drives between the officers and violently hits one of them. The latter’s colleagues quickly came to the aid of the thrown police officer, while the offender continued on his way, bypassing the bend in order to avoid the police cars.
