Scene of chaos Wednesday evening at the Paris judicial court. Two defendants who were appearing for attempted theft and violence against persons holding public authority seriously injured three police officers. While the president announced the deliberations, the two men, already known to the police, pounced on the police, who were responsible for their surveillance.
Loss of consciousness
Surprised, the three police officers were unable to defend themselves and were severely beaten. They were injured in the face, and one of them even lost consciousness. The president immediately suspended the hearing and the officials were rushed to hospital. A complaint will be filed by officials. The attackers were overpowered after a few minutes.
