The facts occurred in the early morning, around 10:30 a.m., in the industrial-port area of the city.
On the 30-second sequence, we can see the PJ agents, guns drawn, trying to intercept a utility vehicle in the middle of interrupted traffic.
Despite everything, he manages to escape, forcing the police to open fire in his direction six times.
In vain.
It is not known at this stage whether the vehicle, a Renault Trafic, could have been intercepted later, the video ending with the start of a chase.
The operation nevertheless led to the arrest of a man and the seizure of narcotics.
Our source also tells us that no injuries are to be deplored.
