The police custody of the man arrested on Saturday evening for violence against his wife should end this Monday evening.
At the end, he will be brought before a magistrate.
An investigation was opened for "acts of violence by a spouse resulting in an ITT of less than eight days, aggravated by two circumstances: the state of intoxication and the use of a weapon", specifies the Bobigny public prosecutor's office.
She was entrusted to the Bondy police station.
Saturday evening, the individual was apprehended while he hit his wife, around 10 p.m., at the family home in Bondy (Seine-Saint-Denis), in front of his two children aged 6 and 8.
He had grabbed “a knife in his hand and made death threats towards his wife and children,” said a police source.
It was the 8-year-old girl who alerted the police by dialing the emergency number.
His mother had just received a slap from her drunken husband.
The victim allegedly asked the girl to call the police.
Intervening quickly, the police are convinced that the child's reflex certainly made it possible to avoid a tragedy.
The individual was arrested without difficulty.
His partner filed a complaint but she allegedly refused to be examined by the medical-judicial unit (UMJ) of the Jean-Verdier hospital in Bondy.
This approach is essential to establish temporary or total incapacity for work (ITT), in order to assess bodily injury and give rise to compensation.
The violent spouse had not been the subject of procedures or reports until now.
