A 15-year-old teenager was the victim of a violent anti-Semitic attack on Sunday evening in Levallois-Perret (Hauts-de-Seine). “The Jew, come here,” one of his attackers allegedly said to him before hitting him and stealing his cell phone.
An anti-Semitic act of rare violence. A 15-year-old teenager wearing a kippah was attacked at the entrance to a metro station in Levallois-Perret (Hauts-de-Seine) this Sunday around 7 p.m.
“They quickly remove his kippah but the two individuals turn around and start to say to him: “And you, the Jew, wait for us, wait for us”. My son stopped and turned around to look at who these people were calling out to him. He then continues to advance but there is one who manages to grab him by the hood,” testified the victim’s mother, contacted by telephone by CNEWS.
“They put him in a corner next to another metro exit and they say to him: “give us your cell phone”. They ripped out the earbuds he had in his ears then they hit him in the face and mouth,” the latter concluded.
She posted a photograph of her son with bloody lips on social media. The former first deputy mayor of the city, Isabelle Balkany, also reacted on X to this attack.
According to the first deputy mayor, people of the Jewish faith must be extra vigilant in Levallois-Perret.
“It can happen anywhere in France, at any time. Obviously, this happens in areas where there are more Jews. Levallois is the city where there is the largest Jewish community in France with 20,000 Jews for 65,000 inhabitants. Obviously, the risks are increased in our town,” said David-Xavier Weiss, the first deputy mayor of Levallois-Perret, at our microphone.
The victim’s mother regrets asking her son to stop wearing a kippah. A complaint was filed at the police station after this attack.
