The fights between bands caused another serious injury in Essonne. According to several concordant sources, a 15-year-old teenager was hospitalized in absolute emergency this Wednesday around 5:30 p.m. in Longjumeau. The victim was very seriously affected by at least two stab wounds, one of which was particularly deep following a clash between two rival gangs in front of the Jean-Perrin high school.
“An investigation has been opened for attempted murder, it has been entrusted to the Essonne departmental security, confirms the prosecution of Évry-Courcouronnes this Wednesday evening. The miner was stabbed and has a major 10 centimeter wound to the chest. He was admitted to a Paris hospital. »
The “very well-known” victim of the police services
This attack comes in a context of fights between thirty young people from Longjumeau and Chilly-Mazarin. The victim, originally from Longjumeau, is “well known” to the police, said a police source.
This Wednesday, a large security perimeter was established around the school and in particular the dojo, rue Léontine-Sohier. This axis has been cut off to traffic. A rubalise extends from the Hélène-Boucher primary school to the high school gate. “We are not crossing, it is a crime scene”, announces a policeman to a passerby. A large police deployment has been put in place. On the ground, a dozen small yellow studs were placed by forensic science technicians to identify possible clues. Especially next to a pair of shoes left on the sidewalk.
No arrest
The young people, dressed in black and masked, clashed in front of the high school, near the sports complex between the two municipalities. “After the facts, several young people fled through the stadium in the direction of Chilly-Mazarin”, blows a source familiar with the matter. Gases were found at the scene. No other injuries are to be deplored, and no arrests have taken place for the time being, specifies the prosecution of Évry-Courcouronnes.
This is not the first time that the Jean-Perrin high school has been the scene of fights between gangs. Groups of young people from the neighborhoods of La Rocade, in Longjumeau, and Saint-Eloi, in Chilly-Mazarin, compete there regularly. In October 2020, the school was placed under police surveillance for several days following a succession of incidents. The young people clash with batons, hammers, iron bars and crutches, while posting videos of their “descents” on social networks.
In 2021, thehe number of brawls has jumped in Essonne. Three miners died in this context: Lilibelle in Saint-Cheron, Toumani in Boussy-Saint-Antoine et Arthur in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois. Of 92 facts in the police zone and 12 in the gendarmerie zone, including two deaths in Draveil and Massy in 2020, there were 129 facts in the police zone, including 13 attempted homicides.
