When he saw the police, he tried to shake them off with his vehicle and then on foot after jumping out of his car while it was still moving.
A chase took place on the night of Sunday December 4 to Monday December 5, around 1 a.m., in the Breil district of Nantes, reports a police source with Le
Figaro
.
It all starts when a police crew spots a Renault brand car committing a traffic violation.
He then tries to stop him but the driver is not of the same opinion.
He refuses to comply and tries to escape.
To do this, he does not hesitate to take a street in the opposite direction.
From a distance, the police follow him and warn colleagues of his journey.
Some of them, present in a street in the area, will then deploy a stop stick (a device intended to cause a slow puncture, Ed).
The set trap works.
Judicial driving suspension
The man behind the wheel then decides to leave the passenger compartment of his car while it is still driving.
He jumped out of his vehicle to flee on foot.
A waste of time: he will be caught up a few meters further on.
After the arrest, the police will discover the – numerous – offenses of which the 28-year-old man is guilty.
