He did not appreciate the inappropriate words addressed to his daughter.
So he took out his handgun and fired two shots at the ground, near those who bothered the young woman.
The scene took place Monday evening in Nanterre, rue Gambetta.
At the end of the day, the young woman, 20, returned home.
While she was in front of the door of her home, a car stopped near her.
Inside, five men, aged 17 to 31.
Both call out to the young woman in unappealing terms, suggesting sexual favors.
And given the lack of success of their proposals, they would also have uttered some insults.
Blows, in addition to shots
From the window of her apartment, the young woman's father attends the scene.
Very dissatisfied, he goes down to clear the rude.
Finally goes back to his house to retrieve a handgun.
Back in the lobby of the building, he shoots twice.
The 9 mm caliber projectiles land near two of the men who had just spoken badly to his daughter.
The group left the scene but the father allegedly caught up with them on Boulevard du Couchant, where the police intervened to arrest everyone.
The five young men and the one who fired the shots were taken into custody.
The former have been released and are not being prosecuted.
The father, on the other hand, was referred to the prosecution on Wednesday. He will have to answer for willful violence with the use and threat of a weapon against two of the men, as well as violence on one as on the other, on July 2, at the tribunal de grande instance. The first was punched twice in the face, the second was punched in the jaw.
