On May 28 in Loyettes, in the Ain, a man of Turkish origin knocked over a Catholic cross with his van. After shouting "Allahou Akbar", he began to pray at the scene of the incident.
Around noon, the gendarmerie was alerted by witnesses who observed an individual shouting religious words on the public road, while tearing off a stone cross. The man deliberately backed up with his van against the cross, before tied it with a strap and overturned it.
A simmilar incident happened at the same day, when a man rammed car into Rodez Cathedral shouting "I hate Jesus".
