Restless Sunday in Nogent-sur-Oise. At the end of the afternoon, a young man aged 26 was shot and wounded in the working-class district of Trois-Rois, in Nogent-sur-Oise (Oise). “When the police arrived, around twenty people were clashing in the middle of a residential area,” explains Eric Heip, the departmental director of public security (DDSP). There were all kinds of weapons, including iron bars. Two handguns were also on display. At the heart of the brawl, a young man was shot in the back and leg. Transported to Creil hospital before the arrival of the police, his life would no longer be in danger on Monday.
“We were called because residents heard gunfire.
We are in a neighborhood with a high concentration of homes.
After the shots, three cars fled, ”continues Eric Heip.
“I was 100 m away with my eight-month-old son when it happened, I saw a gray car with open trunk,” testifies one of the residents on social networks.
"This is the first time that i see this"
Thanks to testimonies collected on the spot and video surveillance images, the investigators were able to arrest two individuals the same evening.
The first was arrested at 6.15 p.m. and the second at 9 p.m.
The judicial police took them into custody in the wake and confronted them this Monday with the elements they have in their possession.
In view of the victim's injuries and the videos, the police seem to rule out an altercation that would have gone wrong. "We are starting for the moment on a procedure for attempted assassination," confirms the departmental director of public security. A matter of the heart would be at the origin of these clashes. The belligerents are part of the Pakistani community and all live in the neighborhood. They all know each other. During their investigations, the police were able to seize several weapons and are now working to determine which ones could have been used on Sunday during the clashes. The investigation was entrusted to the national police of Creil.
On the spot, this Monday morning, life had resumed its course on this shopping square surrounded by buildings. Few of the inhabitants want to confide in the events of the day before. One of them, who witnessed the whole scene, is still shocked. “This is the first time I've seen that,” he testifies. I don't know how many there were, but they must have been in their twenties. According to this resident, the tensions would have increased between these members of the Pakistani community. “There were shots but that's not all,” he insists. Some even clashed with baseball bats and other iron bars. "
