Injured police numbers reported

France Info reported that 997 police officers were injured on October 17, with seven suffering serious injuries. This figure includes those injured during nationwide protests that took place on that day.

Toulouse police report injuries

In Toulouse, the local prefecture stated that more than a dozen personnel were injured, while the police reported 70 agents with bruising and two with more significant injuries, according to Actu Toulouse.

No official count of injured demonstrators

No official figures have been released about the number of injured demonstrators on October 17, either nationally or in Toulouse. This contrasts with past practices where such estimates were provided.

Officials may have internal data

Although the Haute-Garonne prefecture might have an estimate of injured demonstrators, possibly through emergency services like firefighters, the Samu, and Purpan and Rangueil emergency services, no official numbers have been made public.

Volunteer medics report injuries

Mediacités tried to compile a detailed account of injuries using reports from three volunteer first aid groups, known as street-medic, who were active during the demonstration. The SVT (Secours Volontaire Toulouse) group reported that 61 people were injured with a range of injuries from persistent tinnitus to those needing urgent medical attention.
