His escape lasted barely 48 hours. Jérémy (assumed name), 28, was arrested on Friday in Elbeuf (Seine-Maritime) 120 km from the scene of the attack committed on the night of August 30 to 31 on a Parisian taxi driver in Saint-Forget (Yvelines). The gendarmes of the Rambouillet Research Brigade and the Versailles Research Section quickly managed to identify him thanks to the fingerprints he had left on several objects he got rid of in his flight.
