Overview
- Dashcam footage shows a police vehicle on the A4 near Charenton-le-Pont veer and strike a motorcycle, with slowed video suggesting the front passenger extends an arm toward the rider just before impact.
- The Créteil prosecutor’s office has entrusted the inquiry to the police watchdog IGPN after the rider, Hugo, filed a complaint that includes attempted murder by a person vested with public authority.
- TF1 reports that investigators have conducted several interviews this week and are seeking additional highway video to reconstruct the sequence of events.
- Hugo’s lawyer, Arié Alimi, says the IGPN has identified at least two officers allegedly involved, the driver and the front passenger, while the Paris police prefecture says verifications to identify the unit are underway.
- The clip has been viewed millions of times on social platforms, and the rider says he feared for his life and has struggled to resume riding despite avoiding a fall.
