65 year old Brahim saw Mohamed Buazizi arrive to put his fruit stand up. Apparently that day he was later than usual. At the same time two police officers arrived, a man and a woman. The rest of  the vendors left the spot pulling their fruit carts, but Mohamed who hadn&#039;t yet sold anything couldn&#039;t afford to leave. Brahim saw the young vendor struggling with the woman police officer, the  scales fell to the ground... some say there was a slap from the officer, but not all versions coincide on this point. What is certain is that after this incident Mohamed Buazizi poured petrol over himself and died as buddhist monks do.
