Thirty eight migrants were placed in police custody Thursday for “violence in meetings” after three gendarmes were injured, we learned from the Saint-Omer prosecutor’s office. The police wanted to prevent a boat from setting sail at Oye-Plage (Pas-de-Calais).
These three gendarmes were traveling in a buggy when they were stoned on Thursday morning by migrants, which led to the loss of control of their vehicle, this source told AFP, confirming information from The voice of the North.
“Three and six-day ITTs”
“The windshield of one of the buggies shattered following the throwing of a stone” and it “swerved in soft sands, causing it to roll over”, specified the prosecution. The attack “continued on the three gendarmes stuck in the buggy before a rapid intervention by their colleagues to free them”.
These three gendarmes, who “suffer from limb and skull injuries”, have “not been hospitalized”, but “two have ITTs of three and six days”. The police custody was still in progress on Thursday evening, “all people are auditioned” and “images used to establish the exact implications”, said the prosecution.
