Levis E. is thought to have waged a violent campaign in the Netherlands and France, launching brutal attacks on unsuspecting victims, then immediately boarding a train and fleeing the country to evade the authorities.

Authorities suspect his latest murder may have been committed less than 24 hours before his arrest in Toulon yesterday.

It was reported that chilling security camera footage that emerged in Lyon, France, showed that a person matching the description of Levis E. broke a concrete block on the head of a sleeping homeless man on the night of November 11-12.

In the footage, the attacker is seen lifting the dense sign into the air, then running to the man sleeping in the corner and lowering the gun on the man.

The tragic Moldovan victim, sleeping on the streets of Lyon, was found dead with serious head injuries.

This video bears a shocking resemblance to a similar attack in Rotterdam about a week ago, in which a homeless man was left in a coma following a similar attack on November 4-5.

Dutch police are actively searching for the Rotterdam attacker, who was caught on CCTV fleeing the scene after dropping another concrete slab on the head of his lying victim.

Hours after the attack, the man boarded a train to the town of Breda and then headed for the Belgian cities of Antwerp and Brussels.

Rotterdam police released CCTV footage of the attacker in an urgent appeal for tips regarding their investigation.

He is seen wearing a black hooded jacket, dark pants, and a pair of sneakers with distinctive orange laces; This appearance matched the description of the woman who claimed she was attacked on the train to Marseille.

When Levis E. was arrested in Toulon last night, the rough sleeping victim named Benjamin, 37, who was attacked in Rotterdam, was in a coma, according to the Dutch broadcaster. De Telegraaf.

In addition to the Lyon and Rotterdam attacks, Levis E. is also wanted for at least three murders committed in the French cities of Evry, Strasbourg and Dijon in recent weeks.

Each attack has similar characteristics to homeless individuals who were later killed by blunt force trauma in public spaces by a suspect who boarded the train.

Levis E.’s arrest sparked an immediate multinational investigation.

Authorities in Belgium and the Netherlands are now working closely with French authorities to determine whether the Cameroonian national was involved in other unsolved crimes.

Officers who arrested Levis E. in Toulon discovered that he was already the subject of a mandatory deportation order, as well as arrest warrants for minor crimes, including attempted murder and burglary.

He is currently being questioned by police in Toulon but is expected to be transferred to Evry, where an initial arrest warrant has been issued.

“After checking the file of the wanted person, they realized that he was the subject of an arrest warrant issued by an investigative judge in Evry,” said Toulon prosecutor Samuel Finielz.

‘The man has been detained and necessary measures will be taken to hand him over to the investigating judge who gave the order.’

Lyon prosecutor told Le Figaro Levis said it was too early to confirm E.’s involvement in the Rotterdam and Lyon attacks.

However, Le Parisien reported that Levis E.’s clothes and DNA matched those of the man who allegedly killed homeless people in Evry and Lyon.

Meanwhile, the family of the homeless man who was attacked in Rotterdam started a donation campaign in the hope that he would come out of his coma.

Benjamin’s sister Amy reportedly launched the crowdfunding campaign to ensure he ‘never has to sleep poorly again’ in the hope that he can recover from his critical condition.

The fundraiser had raised more than €26,000 as of last night.
