The employee of the luxury car rental company is out of danger but injured and traumatized. A 34-year-old motorist deliberated


Traumatized, a crushed leg, fractured back, the victim left the Bichat hospital (18th century).

The 24-year-old employee, who works for the luxury car rental company and was run over by a crazy driver behind the wheel of a BMW, this Monday on the Champs-Élysées in Paris (8th arrondissement) , returned to his home.

"He will not be able to walk normally for a long time," laments Karim (the first name has been changed), one of his colleagues.

The investigation opened by the Paris prosecutor's office, the head of attempted murder, entrusted to the first district of the judicial police, continues.

The criminal liability of the aggressor is at the heart of the matter.

The case, spectacular and chilling, whose videos have spread on social networks, therefore dates back to this Monday, at the beginning of the afternoon.

At 2:50 p.m. that day, a 34-year-old man quarreled with one of the renters of the Ferraris parked at the corner of the Champs-Elysées and avenue George-V.

Tone up.

"He is a mad"

For reasons still obscure that the investigators are trying to clarify, the individual - who had already come the day before - gets into his car, a BMW, and decides to voluntarily collide with Ferraris.

An employee tries to stop him.

The assailant starts, rolls over him in front of the howls of passers-by and even reverses to pass him again on the body.

To the police officers who came to question him in a muscular manner, he said: “I got confused with the Arabs.

There, they do not want to move their cars.

I wanted to kill them.

And since I can't do it with my hands, I took the car ”.

The man is then placed in police custody.

May his condition being deemed incompatible with this mode of incarceration, he took the path to the psychiatric infirmary of the police headquarters.

Karim has his analysis: “We know the aggressor.

He didn't come for Ferraris.

He wanted to kill Arabs and blacks.

The day before he had come.

He was looking for trouble.

He was smoking hash in his car.

He is a mad ".

Car rental companies, driven every day on the avenue for tourists, also in the sights of the police

Since Monday, the police have also looked at these car rental companies whose legal status is unclear.

“These are virtual businesses,” explains someone close to the matter.

They don't have offices.

They don't pay taxes.

They squat on public roads, in this case the Champs-Élysées, with their cars that they bring in every day and that they rent to tourists.

"

"The police commissioner of the eighth, who has them in the crosshairs, asked his men for a verbalization campaign, this source further indicates.

300 euros per Ferrari!

Karim, the employee who witnessed the accident, confirms this in his own way.

"This Thursday, the police headquarters came to ask us to leave ..."

Jeanne d'Hautesserre, the mayor (LR) of the 8th century, moved by the "extreme violence" of this news item, took the opportunity to put on the carpet the "problematic" situation of these luxury car rental companies in her district, " causing noise nuisance, pollution, danger in a dense tourist area, concern for residents ”.

“People get in these cars for half an hour, it costs them 99 euros.

They barely know how to drive ”

“People get in these cars for half an hour, sums up a tad ironic the chosen one.

It costs them 99 euros.

They start full blast, barely know how to drive, drive around the block, come back, take selfies with the Ferrari, post it on social media.

And for the day, they are happy!

"

Three years ago, Jeanne d'Hautesserre and the then police commissioner carried out a punch operation against the rental companies.

“They had gone to Champ-de-Mars (VIIth) but, unfortunately, in the meantime, they came back.

"

This Friday evening, Karim kept a low profile: “This story is not a good publicity for us.

We dropped the lawsuits.

We don't want to file a complaint.

We do not want to further publicize the case.
