The alleged perpetrator of the punch will have to answer for his action in court, being the subject of a summons by report. This man presented himself at a Lyon police station on March 7, as revealed by Le Figaro.

He was placed in police custody, along with two alleged accomplices, as part of the investigation opened for intentional violence in a meeting several days after the events. The victim, who had not called the police having been hit, filed a complaint with a gendarmerie in the Jura department where she comes from.
