Quatre personnes ont été interpellées par les forces de l'ordre à l'issue des faits. Le parquet ne précise pas la potentielle orientation politique des suspects.

Fact-check: The incident is actively reported on X in real-time by LFI figures like Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Thomas Portes, and franceinfo itself, confirming a disruption at the LFI mayor Patrick Proisy's campaign meeting in Faches-Thumesnil with four arrests following intervention by police. Posts from the opposing far-right media Frontières also acknowledge Nouvelle Droite militants' presence protesting with signs, aligning with the far-right context, though violence level is disputed. France Info reliably reports the mayor's 'far-right attack' claim while noting the prosecutor's lack of confirmation on suspects' political orientation, consistent with prefecture statements in other coverage.
