“While he was sending a WhatsApp voice message in Hebrew to his father, the student, currently on a university exchange program at HEC [Paris], was brutally beaten up – to the point of almost losing consciousness – by two individuals of African origin, right in the middle of a jam-packed metro train at the Château d’Eau station at 6:55 a.m.
“He was taken in a state of shock and bloodied to Lariboisière Hospital, and needed several stitches to his face, his nose was broken and his face was covered with bruises.”
