A man who was under the influence of alcohol caught the attention of police officers in rue de Thionville in the capital when insulting customers of a petrol station. The man subsequently tried to flee the scene, but was found shortly after sleeping on a bench at a bus stop.

He was visibly intoxicated and unable to stand on his own two feet. The officers thus decided to bring the man to the station so he could sober up for everyone's safety.

On their way to the hospital, the man started to lose his temper all of a sudden, throwing a tantrum that still lasted inside the hospital. He then refused to put on a mask and even tried to spit on the police officers. After a medical check-up was completed, the man was arrested, which provoked him to assault another officer and attempt to escape. A futile effort, as he was subsequently fined for resisting the arrest.
