The speeding car rushes past the Chechens and flips over, with the individuals, armed with various pipes, knives and bats begins shouted and runs towards the crashed vehicle.
Local media reported that the driver was seriously injured and hospitalized. Several unconfirmed reports claim the car was driven by a member of a rival gang.

It all started on social media the previous week. The Chechen community calls there for a rally to avenge one of their members: a 16-year-old boy who was allegedly “beaten” in Dijon by a group of older drug dealers. The young man is said to be still hospitalized in serious condition; a member of the Chechen community tells us.
On June 12th, Chechens from all over France attacked a hookah bar: the “Black Pearl”, Place de la République, where the potential culprits were found. Videos of these scuffles then circulated on social networks. A fight left a dozen injured, some seriously: one of them was said to have a broken arm, some were unable to work.

The police intervened to disperse the crowd. According to the prosecution, there were brawls and injuries, but no serious incidents.
The previous weekend, on June 6th – 7th there was a smaller-scale fight between Maghreb and Chechen.
What is noteworthy, however, is this: The Twitter account “Al Chechnya” that shared some of the videos has labeled them with the symbols of the so-called Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. It was active during the wars in Chechnya. Militant groups (many of them linked to al-Qaeda) operating under this brand fought for independence of a part of Chechnya.

These are the same individuals that France grants asylum to from the “evil Russian regime,” who then thank it by organizing fights with hundreds of people and cause issues in public.
