In the family home in the Grillon district in Eragny (Val-d'Oise), Stéphane (
his first name has been changed
), filmed the police intervention in pursuit of the man who beheaded the college teacher du Bois d'Aulnes, in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines).
He agrees to testify "on condition of not being identifiable and not being recorded".
This man of just under thirty was spending a peaceful late afternoon with his loved ones when he was alerted by "noises".
“We went to look out the window, on the garden side,” he says.
A man was seen running and the police got out of the cars.
"Stéphane takes out his cell phone and films the scene," by reflex "as he usually does" as soon as something happens ".
We hear the police officers yelling several times "on the ground, lie down, throw your weapon".

"Stop, lower your gun!"
"I do not know what the man shouted, I will not speak," continues the witness.
I only saw that he was dressed in light clothes and that it was not a religious dress.
The police shouted at him several times
Stop, lower your gun
!
I don't think it was a gun.
"
Stunned, the young man cuts the camera.
“We were shocked!
At the beginning, we did not know what had happened before, we did not understand immediately what we saw, ”he explains.
Since then, he has been stuck on the news channels.
“The neighborhood is cordoned off, there are blue lights everywhere,” he repeats.
People returning home are forced to park 700 m away and end up on foot.
We can't go out anymore.
"He got off anyway," after the deminers had passed. "
This time, if he took out his laptop, it was “for commercial purposes”, he concedes.
