According to French outlet La Provence, the 49-year-old was seen outside Accates La Valentine Primary School in Marseille on Tuesday, September 2, as parents dropped off their children.
Witnesses said he appeared agitated, muttering in a foreign language and making disturbing remarks, including references to having a “mission before dying.”Staff raised the alarm after Balde – who was described as standing at the school gates in a daze – insisted he “would leave last because he had things to do.” Police were called as parents grew increasingly concerned.Officers were said to be surprised when they realised who he was.
He’s a very nice person, but he started to make somewhat incoherent remarks, even at the police station,” a police source told La Provence. “He was questioned, but as a victim, after being hit by the car.”
