While not on duty, the gendarme is alarmed by cries in the street.
He discovers that a teenage boy on the ground is being punched and kicked by a group of twenty people.
He decides to intervene by showing off his “
gendarmerie

armband
and shouting “
National Gendarmerie
”, thus causing the attackers to disperse.
