They were refused entry to a Agde fast-food restaurant in Hérault, since they were not wearing a mask. Annoyed, they attacked the employees. The five vacationers were imprisoned for “violence in a meeting”, announced the prosecutor of Béziers this Saturday, June 27.
The five men, aged 18 and 19, were part of a group of friends of ten people from the Paris region. Tuesday night, vacationers were denied entry to a McDonald’s restaurant and attacked two employees who attempted to enforce health safety rules. “The medical examination of the two victims” retained “for each a total incapacity for work at 5 days”, said the prosecutor, Raphaël Balland, in a press release.
All members of the group were arrested by the police and placed in police custody and five of them were identified “as being directly involved in the violence committed,” said the prosecutor, four for having beaten and the fifth for filming the scene.
The five young men will be tried Monday, June 29 before the criminal court of Béziers in immediate appearance. Among them, three “have been or are currently the subject of criminal proceedings not yet tried in other jurisdictions for acts of violence”, according to the prosecutor.
