Monday 18 November 2019, by
A young man was narrowly saved from a suicide attempt by a policeman in an ophthalmology office in [Rabat].
A video widely circulated on social networks shows the scene. According to the account of the facts, the young man, his body sprayed with a flammable product, threatened to commit suicide by self-immolation.
Being on the spot, a policeman engaged in conversation. First, he tried to dissuade him by playing on his psychology. Then he managed to grab him before seizing the lighter he wanted to use to commit suicide by self-immolation.
The young man was placed in pre-trial detention and an investigation is underway to determine the causes of this suicide attempt.
