According to a police source, the refusal of an identity check “degenerated”, this Saturday around 10 p.m. in Mulhouse (Haut-Rhin). Violence between around forty young people and the police then broke out for the second consecutive evening.
During the clashes with around forty young people “hooded” and armed with “sticks”, a policewoman was slightly injured in her leg by a stone throw. Calm returned around 1:45 a.m. on Sunday. A man was arrested and taken into custody, according to the same source.
The day before, similar violence had broken out after a man “who rodeoed with an unapproved motocross” had tried to flee a check early Friday evening, police said. The police then arrested him and took him into custody.
