Their speed saved a life.
On the night of Monday to Tuesday, four police officers prevented a young 24-year-old woman from ending her life in Evry-Courcouronnes, indicates the Departmental Public Directorate of Essonne.
Around 2 a.m., friends who hosted him for the night dialed the 17th, worried about his disappearance in the middle of the night.
The young woman, who had made a suicide attempt before, wanders in pajamas and sandals in the city.
Localized thanks to his mobile
Faced with the urgency of the situation, the authorities decided to geolocate his cell phone.
An approximate location is passed to a police crew who scans the area looking for it.
At 2.45 am, the officers saw him stepping over a bridge overlooking a railway line on Boulevard de France, not far from the prefecture and the Evry-Courcouronnes police station.
Four policemen then throw themselves on her to catch up with her at the last minute, despite her opposition to make them let go.
The young woman is finally hoisted to safety on the bridge and taken to Corbeil-Essonnes hospital by the firefighters.
On March 6, in Viry-Chatillon, five other officers jumped into the water to rescue a suicidal person. After having identified her in the parking lot of the ice rink, they saw her jump into the lake of Viry-Châtillon. She was about twenty meters from the edge when the police had dived and brought her back to dry land.
