He is released from pre-trial detention.
This Tuesday, at the Versailles Criminal Court, Sébastien appears for having hit the police officers who came to rescue him after his fall on a scooter.
He was drunk, after drinking 2 liters of beer.
The two agents were prescribed 5 and 2 days of incapacity for work.
On the evening of Friday March 1, this 48-year-old man was found lying on the ground next to his two-wheeler, in Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines).
When the officers tried to remove his helmet, the driver struggled... He then punched the first officer in the face, also injuring his knees and leg.
The other agent was injured while trying to help his colleague.
At the hearing, the defendant recounts the facts as he perceived them.
“I started to fall asleep on the handlebars.
I was a little drunk.
They tried to take away my helmet.
I felt attacked, so I hit… And, I woke up in police custody,” he testifies.
