Syringe attacks during France's music street festival leave 145 jabbed and several hospitalised
French police have detained 12 suspects after nearly 150 people reported being assaulted with syringes across France during its annual "Fête de la Musique" summer festival.
The outdoor festival took place all over France last Saturday, with authorities reporting "unprecedented crowds" in Paris.
The Interior Ministry said that 145 people nationwide had reported being stabbed with needles, with Paris police reporting 13 cases in the capital. Upwards of a dozen women and underaged girls have been hospitalized.
“The ministry is taking this very seriously,” a spokeswoman from the Interior Ministry stated. "Some victims were taken to hospital for toxicological tests and the investigation is ongoing," the ministry added.
