The Minister of the Interior denounced the "ambushes" tended to the police in certain districts

The Minister of the Interior spoke on Wednesday about the scuffles that have taken place in several neighborhoods since the accident of a man on a scooter in which the police of Villeneuve-la-Garenne is involved.

During the night of April 21 to 22, fires of garbage cans and vehicles were identified in several communes of Hauts-de-Seine (Gennevilliers, Nanterre and Villeneuve-la-Garenne), and Seine-Saint-Denis (Aulnay-sous -Bois and Montreuil).

During his intervention before the Senators, Christophe Castaner denounced the "ambushes" organized against the police which have given rise to "28 arrests since last weekend".

In a video filmed at the hospital, the victim of the scooter accident with the police, called those involved in the scuffles to "calm down" hoping "that justice will pass".
