Wild bites in the evening: several complaints this weekend, what we know about the first suspect arrested – Sud Ouest

In addition to this arrest, there are fourteen complaints filed this weekend by people present at the evening organized by TF1. Elsewhere in France, six participants in a music festival in Belfort which took place from June 2 to 5, filed a complaint for similar facts and four others in the Gers. “SudOuest” takes stock of these disturbing events. What is the profile of the suspect? In addition to the fourteen complaints, the Toulon prosecutor’s office recorded 21 reports during the evening. To these are added two people, who, during an altercation, formally saw the individual implicated with a syringe, they reported to justice. He is a 20-year-old man years old and of Tunisian origin. Without a residence permit and without a job, the man is known to the courts. In a state of legal recidivism, he has already been sentenced in 2020 for domestic violence on his partner, who would have been heard this weekend. When questioned, the individual continues to deny the facts, said Toulon prosecutor Samuel Finielz. For the time being, a judicial investigation has been opened under violence aggravated by two circumstances: premeditation and the weapon by destination that constitutes the syringe. The Toulon prosecutor’s office remains reserved on the “harmful substances” administered. Eight clinical examinations are in progress. In seven cases, the impacts of the syringe were noted. A majority of the victims had no symptoms. How many people attacked in France? This recent arrest should shed some light on all the gray areas surrounding these bites which affect the whole of France. Since the end of March, nearly 350 customers of establishments or nightclubs have filed a complaint for acts of assault with a syringe, deciphered France Inter on May 30, 2022, including 200 complaints recorded over the month of May. What to do in the event of a sting? Faced with this anxiety-provoking phenomenon, the response is being organised: a specific protocol has thus been put in place, for example in Toulouse. It is necessary, if you are a victim during a festive event, to file a complaint with the police, recalls the Ministry of the Interior. The complaint allows a medical examiner to be seized to carry out toxicological analyzes in order to detect any substances injected.#Vigilance 💉 | In the evening and in festive places, remain vigilant against the risk of wild bites.
