This is the terrifying moment masked gunmen ambushed a prison van at a French tollbooth before shooting dead two guards and freeing a 'narco boss' dubbed 'The Fly' before fleeing on foot. The prison van was attacked after 11am on the A motorway near the Incarville tollbooth, located in the town of Val-de-Reuil, Normandy, northern France. At least two French guards were killed, and two others were left wounded, following the attack which saw the assailants and detainee, Mohammed Amra, 30, managing to escape the scene.
