Knife Violence in Toulouse: A Worrying Trend

2024-04-15 19:08:00

the essential Several stabbings or threats with knives were recorded this weekend in Toulouse. A worrying series.

Massive bladed weapons have been used or brandished in recent days in Toulouse. If they did not cause any deaths, they are the reflection of a city where blades are increasingly used for often futile reasons.

So on Saturday, around 5 p.m., the firefighters intervened for two people injured near the Arènes metro station. One of the two had a suspected fracture. The police were able to arrest two suspects. The motive for the brawl remains unclear.

Because he is turned away from the nightclub

Sunday, around 4 a.m., in front of a nightclub in Sesquières, a man who had been refused entry by a security guard went to get a knife. He came back and threatened the bouncer. Again, the police arrested him.

An hour later, in Jean-Jaurès, a man was subdued while threatening passers-by with a broken bottle. Sunday, late in the followingnoon, this time it was the manager of a supermarket, still in Jean-Jaurès, who was threatened with a knife. The attacker was arrested.

Bloody hands

Two people were injured in the Saint-Étienne district. Warned, the BAC intervened. She came across a suspect busy washing his bloody hands. The victims had just been attacked by two men, aged 18 and 20, both carrying a blade.

At the time of their arrest, the police found a knife in the underwear of a suspect. The victims, aged 25 and 51, were taken care of by emergency services. One of them was prescribed ten days of ITT.

Finally, around 1 a.m., during the night from Sunday to Monday, a 21-year-old man was stabbed in the stomach in Compans-Caffarelli. He managed to take refuge with a friend. His attacker fled. An investigation is open.
