A police officer was injured while trying to intercept the driver of a scooter in Pau on Monday. An investigation was opened to determine whether the driver intended to injure or even kill the officer.
The injured officer was taken to a hospital. His right foot has a "double fracture." The Alliance Police union also demanded "exemplary sanctions" against the pilot who practiced "rodeoing in the streets of the city. The pilot has since been arrested and charged with "unlawful use of a weapon' and "assault on a police officer's life.' The incident took place in the Zaragoza district, in the afternoon, we are told. The police wished the injured officer a 'good recovery' on their social networks. "It is unacceptable that the police officers responsible for maintaining public peace are the target of lawless delinquents capable of the worst to escape their responsibilities," writes the union.
