The suspect was arrested a few minutes later and taken into custody. On social networks, many police unionists denounced the facts.
“These images which follow one after the other are unbearable! 75 refusals to comply per day! How many deaths or injuries will it take to take the necessary measures in the face of this daily impunity!?
, wrote on X the secretary general of Alliance Police Fabien Vanhemelryck.
