France: Omar Sy jugé en novembre pour "violences"
Star actor Omar Sy will be tried on November 30 by a Parisian court, suspected of having attacked agents of the public railway group SNCF in Paris in May 2025, AFP learned Monday from a source close to the case.
Star of the series "Lupin", Omar Sy is notably being prosecuted for "violence against a person in charge of public service missions resulting in incapacity not exceeding eight days committed on May 22, 2025".
At the time, SNCF confirmed "an altercation and threatening remarks made by Mr. Sy against one of our on-board agents".
The actor is also accused of "threatening a crime or offense against persons or property against a person carrying out a public service mission" and "insulting a person carrying out a public service mission".
On May 22, 2025, the actor, about to travel between Paris and Avignon (southeast), "allegedly attacked railway security officers who asked him to muzzle his dog," the newspaper La Provence revealed that day.
According to La Provence, "an altercation reportedly started on the station platform around 7 a.m.", as the actor "was preparing to board a train heading towards the City of Popes."
"Security officers" reportedly asked the star "to muzzle his dog before boarding the train, as required by the SNCF."
"After an initial outburst from Omar Sy at the start, including death threats and insults directed at the staff on the platform, the problems reportedly continued on board the train," the newspaper wrote.
Similar incidents had already been reported in 2018 and 2011, always in the same train station in Paris.
SNCF had already reported in 2018 "somewhat heated exchanges" between Omar Sy and an SNCF agent during an incident at Gare de Lyon in Paris.
In 2011, the star, who had been a sensation in the hit film "The Intouchables", was briefly detained after an altercation with SNCF security officers in Paris, again at the Gare de Lyon.
His lawyer at the time denounced "acts of violence and abuse of authority".

Comme toujours certains choisissent le sectarisme et le ressentiment et essaient de faire taire les réussites qui les dérangent. Face au deux poids deux mesures et aux visages du repli, ta voix reste celle d'une France debout, digne et plurielle.
