What witnesses present on the spot confirm.
They indicate that the man with the hammer had previously been assaulted by two people, one of them being the one with bloody hands.
The second having fled after having broken the crutch by hitting his victim.

In view of the various elements collected, the police brought the two people involved in the fight back to the police station, handing them over to Gonesse urban security.
