His path has only been punctuated with his own blood.
Around 12:15 this Saturday, on the Port à l'Anglais bridge which connects Alfortville and Vitry-sur-Seine, a man is reported to the local police, while threatening motorists with a knife.
Having arrived quickly on the scene, the police from the Alfortville police station spotted him on the other part of the bridge, on the Vitry side.
Everything then goes very quickly.

Dementia crisis
In the midst of a dementia attack, the man rushes without hesitation on the police car. Officials have no choice but to use an electric pulse pistol, which is supposed to stop this kind of aggressive behavior. To avoid any attack, the knife is quickly removed from the scene. Blood dries on the slide exposed to sunlight.
Is it that of a victim lying nearby?
The police, who then face an individual covered in blood and finally controlled, do not identify any injured in the area.
According to a police source, the man has on the other hand "deep bleeding wounds in the calves".
"He inflicted this on himself," she says.
A few compression points are carried out by the officials, while awaiting the arrival of the firefighters who take him without delay to the Henri-Mondor hospital in Créteil.
