The 22-year-old Rennais who had his hand torn off on the night of June 18 to 19 during a police intervention aimed at dispersing a rave party in Redon (Ille-et-Vilaine), filed a complaint on Tuesday.
It was filed for "willful violence with weapons or by persons holding public authority, and resulting in permanent disability" as well as for "non-assistance to a person in danger", indicated the public prosecutor of Rennes Philippe Astruc.
Violent clashes broke out that night between the police and the participants in the rave party organized in tribute to young Steve, who died in Nantes after falling in the Loire during a police intervention on the evening of the Music Festival 2019. This Tuesday, a commissioner in charge of the police system that day was indicted for manslaughter.

“For the moment the etiology (the causes, editor's note) of the serious hand injury is not established.
Investigations are continuing in this direction as well as on the organization of relief, ”said Philippe Astruc.
The Techno + association, which works to reduce the risks associated with festive practices, indicated that it had taken care of "22 victims mainly injured due to projectiles, de-encircling grenades and LBDs".
Firefighters heard
"There was a problem with this explosive device and there was no care for the injured by the firefighters," said Stéphane Vallée, lawyer for the victim.
"That there was no possibility for the emergency services to intervene on the spot seems quite incomprehensible to me," he added.
Two investigations for "unintentional injuries" and for "unlawful organization of a festive musical gathering" had been opened by the prosecution.
The prosecutor had the recordings of the calls to the firefighters seized and had several firefighters heard.
The young man injured around 3 a.m., in a field near the Redon racecourse, was dropped off at Redon hospital at 3:36 a.m. by a young woman, according to the prosecution.
According to Techno +, the public authorities "refused the health care" of this 22-year-old, "forcing one of his friends to cover what was left of his forearm with a cloth to drive him himself. to the hospital ".
The young man was able to leave the clinic on June 23 and was prescribed a 90-day temporary incapacity for work (ITT).
