A septuagenarian and her granddaughter were victims on Monday of an attack “of rare violence” in Bordeaux, the prefect of New Aquitaine and Gironde said on Twitter, adding that a suspect was placed in custody.
The facts took place “at the end of the afternoon” in the capital of the New Aquitaine region, “cours de la Martinique”, at the home of the 73-year-old person accompanied by his “granddaughter” , a minor child “under the age of 15”, indicated the prefect.
“Intolerable act”
The septuagenarian was hospitalized but “her vital prognosis is not engaged”, specifies the same source.
