In 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, a close suburb of Paris on Sunday around 7 p.m.

"They quickly took off his kippah and the two men turned around and started telling him: 'And you, the Jew, wait for us, wait for us.' My son stopped and turned around to look at who these people are calling out to him. He then continues to move forward but there is one who manages to grab him by the hood," testified the victim's mother, reached by phone by Cnews.

"They put him in a corner next to another metro exit and they tell him: 'give us your mobile phone'. They tore off the earbuds he had in his ears and then they hit him in the face and mouth," she concluded.

She posted on social media a photograph of her son with bloody lips. 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. Inevitably, it 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. Inevitably, the risks are increased in our municipality," David-Xavier Weiss, the first deputy mayor of Levallois-Perret, told us.
