He must probably have been unaware that public transport in the Bordeaux metropolis is equipped with video surveillance. This Saturday, around 18 p.m., in a tram circulating in Cenon (Gironde), along Avenue Jean Jaurès, a 31-year-old man would have begun to rub his penis against a traveler, who would be quickly away, and would then have exhibited his sex to other occupants of the train.

Quickly informed, the national police arrested the individual, who turns out to be an Algerian in an irregular situation. Placed in police custody and then imprisoned pending trial, he will be the subject of an immediate appearance at a delayed time, once the results of the psychiatric expertise ordered against him are known.

The case has been referred to the Central Urban Security Division.
