A fight broke out on Monday, September 28, 2026, shortly after 8 p.m., aboard an RTM bus near L’Estaque beach in Marseille’s 16th arrondissement. A man, seriously wounded in the chest by a knife, was taken to the hospital in critical condition, according to information published by Actu.fr.
What we know
The incident reportedly occurred on a bus on line 35, which connects the L’Estaque area to La Joliette. According to Actu.fr, citing the Marseille fire brigade, the driver alerted the RTM security center, which then notified the police. Emergency services found the victim on the road, suffering from a chest injury.
The account describes a group of about ten people involved in the brawl. They reportedly left the scene before the police arrived. No suspects, motives, or details about the altercation are provided. The victim’s age is not specified here, as the information in the source article is inconsistent on this point.
An incident that occurred in the 16th arrondissement
The incident concerns the L’Estaque district in Marseille, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department and the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolitan area. It is not a disruption announced across the entire RTM network: no impact on the operation of line 35 or on passenger journeys has been reported in the published information.
Actu.fr reports that the RTM (Marseille public transport authority) and the Marseille prosecutor’s office had not responded to its requests for comment by the time of publication, Tuesday, September 29, at 5:08 p.m. The circumstances of the brawl and the subsequent legal proceedings therefore remain unclear. No information is available to indicate whether an investigation has been opened or if any individuals have been arrested.
The next steps
New official information could clarify the victim’s condition, the circumstances of the incident, and any potential legal proceedings. In the absence of confirmed statements from the prosecutor’s office or the police, responsibility cannot be determined.
