During the night of Thursday to Friday, July 5, the police were alerted to an individual caught trying to puncture car tires. Very agitated, he also kicked in the doors of buildings.

A woman alerted the national police during the night of Thursday to Friday, July 5, around 12:20 a.m. She had just surprised an individual trying to puncture the tires of parked cars, in the Saint-Denis church area. Having followed him from a distance on a scooter, she saw him operating in the Paul-Brousse, Estelle and Rhin-et-Danube.

Very agitated, the man also kicks in building doors and tries to enter halls.

A small kitchen knife

On the instructions given by the witness, the anti-crime squad intervenes and spots the suspect. He was found in possession of a small kitchen knife.

The man, aged 32, is a resident of the neighborhood. He admits the facts and explains to the police that he acted because he was "angry" and perhaps also, he declares, because& ;rsquo;he had not taken the psychiatric treatment he is receiving. A medical examination has been ordered.
