In 1903, the station witnessed the arrest of three leaders of the bande à Jacob (Jacob's band), a gang of anarchists (Marius Jacob, Pélissard and Félix Bour). After a car pursuit (one of the first in France) between Abbeville and this station, a shooting ensued in which a police agent (agent Anquier) was killed.Cf.
