Overview
- The man fled by jumping out of a window during questioning after a brief lapse in officer supervision, according to police sources.
- He had been in custody since October 29 in the investigation of an October 18 stabbing in Créteil that left the victim with 30 days of medically certified incapacity for work.
- The Créteil prosecutor’s office confirmed the opening of a flagrance investigation for escape and said the case is being handled by the commissariat.
- Le Parisien reports the suspect had been brought from court on a separate narcotics matter when police linked him to the attempted murder and placed him in custody for that case.
- Authorities conducted searches before the suspect was arrested again in the middle of the afternoon, an episode that outlets note has renewed scrutiny of staffing shortfalls in police investigative units.
