Paris – An antisemitic attack that allegedly took place on December 1 at 11 am in the 19th arrondissement of Paris.
A 70-year-old man of Jewish faith was attacked in his home by two hooded and gloved people carrying a gun.
“The attackers first knocked hard on the door and tried to force in. After opening the door, the man was violently pushed into his apartment by the attackers, who beat him all over his body and put the gun on his temple,” the statement said.
In the apartment, one of the attackers asks him if he is a jeweler and a Jew. He replies that he is not a jeweler but that he is indeed a Jew, the BNVCA reported.
