On October 31, on the terrace of the 211 club, a group of around 75 women were chatting, while around 400 people were inside, according to Clarisse, the organizer, on X. Around 2 a.m. , a first fireworks display is fired into the air. The other shots will be directed towards the women on the terrace, triggering a panic.
On X, a participant explains this panic movement: “We took several bursts. You should know that many of us were in heels, with costumes, so it wasn't necessarily easy to run, many were paralyzed. Fortunately, no serious injuries, but some burns to a few on the body or head. »
“Nothing serious physically, but trigger [réaction à un traumatisme antérieur, ndlr] of the trauma of the Bataclan of one of my close friends: 'I heard you shouting to come back to shelter us, I saw myself losing people again', adds the participant.
The police were dispatched to the scene, but no arrests took place. The four men fled, according to BFMTV.
According to participants, this is not the first time that such an attack has occurred: during a similar evening in Marseille, men allegedly threw gasoline at participants who were smoking on the terrace.
