France: Muslim with two knives threatens to stab man, injures three cops, rants about ‘Qur’an and infidel dogs’

He will likely be back on the streets in a matter of days and will then become a loyal, stable, productive citizen of France. Won’t he?

“Limoges: he injures police officers after threatening to kill a motorist and blow up the police station,” translated from “Limoges : il blesse des policiers après avoir menacé de mort un automobiliste et de faire sauter le commissariat,” Le Populaire, December 5, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):

He shouldn’t have refused to give him a cigarette. Saturday, December 2, around 10:50 p.m., a motorist was stopped by a 25-year-old young man, asking him for tobacco. Faced with the driver’s refusal, the pedestrian was very threatening verbally, but also physically.

Suddenly, the latter took out two kitchen knives and placed them on the car, indicating that he had not brought them to “look nice” and that he was going to use them. Reported to the Limoges municipal police in the Place Jourdan area, the man was caught. In the meantime, the latter got rid of the knives by throwing them over the wall of a residence.

“Worrying and radical” remarks
Municipal agents found two knives with blades of 20 and 30 centimeters in the courtyard of the residence. Joined by the national police, the municipal officials arrested the attacker, who became increasingly vehement.

During his transport to the police station, the man made “disturbing and radical remarks, referring to the Qur’an and infidel dogs, and threatening to plant a bomb at the police station or use a grenade,” according to the police.

Injured police officers
Arriving at the station, he refused to submit to a blood alcohol test, exclaiming that a Muslim does not drink alcohol, while becoming increasingly virulent. He kicked the police officer who was searching him on the forehead, then bit him on the right bicep. The official, injured in the arm, was given a seven-day ITT. A second police officer was injured during the placement in the cell of the young man who kicked him in the leg, causing him a one-day ITT.

In total, three police officers filed complaints for violence or insults and threats. Two other threatened officers, witnesses to the facts and occupants of the vehicle, gave the same version of the young man’s radical threats being “desire to murder.”

Judged on December 7
Interviewed, he explained that he did not remember anything because he had consumed a lot of alcohol to celebrate his new job in a brewery. He apologized for what happened. He indicated that he was not a practitioner of the Muslim religion and that his comments had gone beyond his thoughts. However, he admitted all the facts.

At the end of his extension of police custody, he was referred to the prosecution and presented to the judge of freedoms and detention. Placed in pre-trial detention at the Limoges remand center, he will be tried on Thursday, by the city’s judicial court, for threatening to kill, carrying a weapon, refusing to submit to alcohol checks, violence against a person holding a public authority, threat of crime or misdemeanor against a person holding public authority and rebellion.
