The father of Anwar H, the author of the facts, declared that he had not immediately recognized his son on the images which circulated. “I got a call from a friend who realized it was him. “My son is not dangerous,” continues the father. “He is bipolar and takes medication for it. If he forgets his treatment, he loses control. That’s what happened on Monday. He threatened and stabbed people with a knife, but it was only because of his illness. He also states that his son should be admitted. “I hope they don’t let him go. He needs to be taken care of for his mental illness or things will go wrong. »
