A surreal scene took place during the night from Wednesday to Thursday on the A6 motorway in Essonne.
A 20-year-old man chased by police crossed the tracks on foot before being hit by a car.
He was hospitalized in the evening.
His life is not threatened.
The events took place around 11 p.m. on February 28.
A crew from the Juvisy-sur-Orge police station spotted a van which, after checking, was reported stolen.
The officials chase her.
The driver does not comply, flees the control, heading towards the highway.
He then takes the Viry-Chatillon ramp, heading towards the Province.
Wounded in the abdomen and hospitalized
Except that what follows takes a completely different turn.
The man driving the van suddenly stopped the vehicle in the lane, got out, and fled on foot.
The police see him cross the tracks, step over the dividing curb, continue on his way...

This is where a car arrives at the same time and hits the fugitive.
But he gets up, and, in his momentum, continues to run.
He was finally caught and arrested not far from the Viry-Chatillon exit, hidden in the thickets.
His evening continues at the hospital, where the young man, injured in the abdomen, is treated for injuries considered minor.
A small miracle given the circumstances.
He is then placed in police custody.
The suspect would already be known unfavorably to the police.
An investigation is underway for “vehicle theft” and “refusal to comply”.
