Three police officers were surrounded and molested on Wednesday July 20 by around fifty individuals in the Guillotière district (Lyon 3rd), while they were trying to arrest a man who had just stolen a necklace.
The worst has been avoided. At the beginning of the evening this Wednesday, July 20, in the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon, place Gabriel-Péri, three police officers were attacked by around fifty individuals as they tried to arrest the perpetrator of a theft at the snatch, we learned from a police source.
Lynched, the latter were also victims of jets of projectiles and tear gas. To get rid of it, they were forced to take refuge in a convenience store while waiting for the arrival of reinforcements and let the thief slip away.
A scene of rare violence, relayed on social networkswhich the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, did not fail to denounce on Twitter
Full support for our 3 police officers who were victims of unbearable violence in Lyon during an operation to take back the ground from delinquency. At my request, all means are mobilized to challenge the authors. To attack a policeman is to attack the Republic.

The Beauvau tenant assured that “all means are mobilized to arrest the perpetrators” and adds that “to attack a police officer is to attack the Republic”.
