The columnist and specialist on the British royal family, Bertrand Deckers, was this morning the guest of the CNews morning show. On the set of the news channel, he testified after being the victim of a snatching this weekend in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.
“I was at the Chapelle door, I was leaving the metro. It was midnight. As I was leaving the metro, my phone rang, so I took the call. While walking, someone was shouting, a voice spoke to me. I had two people in front of me, small, North Africans. They rushed at me very quickly, they pushed me, I was destabilized and I fell on a barrier. ‘ he remembered.
And added: “A hand grabbed my phone to snatch it from me. It’s quite violent. There, they really came to snatch my phone. They are around twenty years old I would say. I didn’t have the latest iPhone. I’m not tech-savvy at all. My phone must be worth 20, 30 euros.
“Things could have gone wrong. I could have resisted. Living through it, it’s shocking to think that today, in Paris, for 20 euros, your life could be put in danger.” , continued Bertrand Deckers.
