A 15-year-old teenager was beaten up by several people on Thursday, April 4, in Viry-Châtillon in Essonne, after leaving school. He is between life and death.
A schoolboy was beaten up in Essonne this Thursday, April 4. Aged 15, the boy was found unconscious near his school in Viry-Châtillon, after having been beaten up after leaving classes according to The Parisian. He was hospitalized at Necker hospital in Paris, “seriously injured”, according to the prosecution.
Around 4:30 p.m., the teenager left Sablons college to return home on foot. A group of young people with their faces masked by balaclavas attacked the young man. His attackers lynched him with kicks and punches before fleeing. The 3rd grade student was left for dead on the ground and was injured along the body and in the head. He was found shortly after by a passer-by, who called emergency services. Transferred to hospital in serious condition, his life prognosis may even be in jeopardy.
“They massacred him”
The attackers have not been found. The teenager was not known to the courts. According to the public prosecutor, the first elements lean towards premeditation. For the moment, “no lead is favored, the investigation is barely starting”, confided a police source to the newspaper. The investigations were entrusted to the Essonne Interdepartmental Judicial Police Service.
Present at the scene of the attack, the mayor of Viry-Châtillon, Jean-Marie Vilain, said he was “upset by this ultraviolence”. “He was attacked by three or four people who beat him, who massacred him. It’s something scandalous,” he added on BFMTV. A psychological unit, made up of psychologists, a doctor and a school nurse, will be set up this Friday morning to hear from middle school students.
