A new arrest took place this Sunday after the police attack in Bonneuil on July 25. The 16-year-old, alleged perpetrator


After a first indictment for attempted murder of a person holding public authority in an organized gang, which took place last week, the investigation into the attack by police officers in Bonneuil on July 25, is progressing quickly.

This Sunday, a 16-year-old minor was arrested and taken into custody.

He is suspected of being the author of the fireworks mortar fire which targeted three police officers from the anti-crime squad, on patrol at the time of the facts.

The young man, who lives in Bonneuil, "is already known for acts of violence" specifies the prosecutor's office in Créteil. He was arrested in Paris while he "was preparing to flee to Mali" specifies a police source. He was removed from the shoes on Tuesday morning before the examining magistrate. Five minors aged 14 to 16 had already been placed in police custody and then released last Tuesday, in addition to the indictment on Wednesday for attempted murder.

On July 25, an official was injured in an attack in the Saint-Exupéry district.

At around 7 p.m., the vehicle was driving rue de Clavizis while an urban rodeo was in progress, when a person, in a group of about forty individuals, fired a mortar at point blank range.

The incendiary device exploded inside the car itself, near the passenger seat, which caught fire.

The driver of the vehicle managed to extricate himself before his colleague was taken in by the emergency services.

The vehicle was partially destroyed by the flames.

: the police officer attacked in the Val-de-Marne testifies

An investigation was immediately entrusted to the departmental security, for "attempted voluntary homicide on a person holding public authority, complicity in this attempt, aggravated violence, death threats and recording and dissemination of violent images".

About forty young people were present at the time of the facts.

The "relieved" police officers

One of the police officers, 37 years old and member of the BAC of Créteil, was burned to the 2nd degree on a wound 38 cm long and 13 high, with an ITT (total incapacity for work) of 15 days. “The emergency doctor told me that I was not far from the 3rd degree with skin graft, testified the policeman exclusively for the Parisian. If the mortar had hit my back directly, my column would have exploded. If I hadn't thrown to the side, my face and jaw would go. This reflex saved my life. "

His two colleagues also suffered injuries to their eardrums and were delivered 15 and 10 days of ITT.

"They keep replaying the scene in their heads, they still hear their colleague screaming in pain," sighs a police officer.

"The three police officers who were victims of this attack are relieved by this latest arrest," insists Eddy Deboste, deputy regional delegate of the Alliance union.

The departmental security did an enormous job to complete this investigation as quickly and, thanks to them, the main author was not able to escape.

"

Coming to support the police at the Créteil police station the day after the events, the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin denounced a "real assassination attempt".
