Paris – Wednesday evening, around 17:00, a young man was the target of an assault in the nineteenth arrondissement of the capital.
The victim was approached by three men who tried to steal his bag. Upon seeing the young man’s yarmulke, the assailants jostled their victim, threw him to the ground and then kicked him several times, uttering antisemitic remarks.
The battered young man quickly went to the police station to file a complaint. For now, the attackers have not been identified or found.
