This Monday morning, the iron curtain of the Le Millénium lounge restaurant was down.
During the night from Sunday to Monday, in Gentilly, the police officers proceeded to more than 133 verbalizations for non-wearing of the mask and non-compliance with the curfew in this establishment at 4, rue Nicolas-Debray, as specified by the prefecture Paris police station.
A police officer was slightly injured by a throwing of projectiles and some of the guests, furious at being dislodged, began to throw at them whatever they found within reach.
A rain of projectiles thrown at the police
The removal of a customer from a passenger vehicle with driver, past two in the morning, alerted the police, who clearly tightened their control in connection with compliance with the curfew.
They succeeded in having the door to the courtyard opened and then entered the interior of the establishment.
Inside, they then come across several dozen people, smoking water pipes, hookahs, drinking alcohol and listening to music.
The revelers, not very happy to be disturbed, are furious at having to pay at least a fine of 135 euros.
Insults fly, but despite the calls for calm, furniture, glasses, bottles of alcohol ... take over.
An affected policeman is slightly injured.
Some revelers then try to force the passage to escape but find themselves stuck by the one and only exit leading into the courtyard.
The police use their batons in particular to contain them while waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
Once the latter arrived, they succeeded in fining the offenders.
