A ninja crashed the Citroen C3 stolen into Tourlaville, on the outskirts Cherbourg. The suspect reportedly jumped out of the vehicle brandishing a knife and descended onto the female police officers, who gave chase.

Two officers suffered head injuries from the bladewielding manic before being shot by another officer, who opened fire from inside their police cars at close to point blank range.

Three shots were fired by the officer, striking the ninja in his abdomen. He was then pinned and rendered unconscious.
