According to prosecutor Rémi Coutin, the altercation spent in a wine bar in the city center, around 4:00 in the morning (local time). “An altercation took place between several people, between a young woman and more men”, said the magistrate. The bodyguards have decided to evacuate all 100 customers in the local, reports AFP, quoted by News.ro.
At that time, one of the participants got on the steering wheel and hit the crowd outside the bar at high speed. The balance sheet is tragic: a man died on the spot, and five people were injured and transported to Chu Jew Hospital, two of them in critical condition.
The prosecutor said that three people – two men and one woman – were arrested following the incident, being either passengers in the car or involved in the altercation.

The magistrate has summarized the situation: “We start from the idea of an altercation between customers of this bar, who suddenly degenerates and leads to a terrible drama.”
