The incident took place on Thursday, December 28th, in the 1st district of the capital. The judicial police are in charge of the investigation.
The victim, who was very shocked, was taken care of by the firefighters before the arrival of the police. Her shop is now temporarily closed. A merchant was the victim of an attempted rape, on Thursday, December 28th, in the 1st district of Paris, as learned by Le Figaro from a police source. “The 1st DPJ (1st district of judicial police) is handling an investigation opened for attempted rape. The investigations are ongoing,” confirms the Paris prosecutor’s office.
On Thursday, just before 11am, an individual rushed into the lobby of a building located in the Tuileries district. He then walked towards the back of a store, at the end of a corridor, where the merchant was located.
The individual, under the influence of alcohol, pushed the victim, tore her tights, and poured alcohol over her. He attempted several times to insert an object that he had just recovered into the merchant’s anus, according to a police source. The perpetrator, on the run, is actively being sought by the judicial police.
