a man shouts “Allah Akbar” at the police station in the 8th arrondissement

During the night of Saturday 6 to Sunday 7 November, a very agitated young man went to meet an unmarked police car which was driving in Villeurbanne. He took a knife out of his pocket and threatened the three police officers in the vehicle, who sprayed him with tear gas.

The young man tried to flee before being caught by the police, reports Progress.

Taken to the police station in the 8th arrondissement of Lyon, the 24-year-old allegedly made incoherent remarks and shouted “Allah akbar”. The police were forced to use a taser gun to neutralize him. He has been taken into police custody and must undergo a psychiatric examination to assess his condition.
