A 15-year-old teenager was found “seriously injured” this Thursday late in the afternoon in Viry-Châtillon (Essonne) near his school, and was transported to hospital with a life-threatening prognosis, indicated the Evry public prosecutor’s office, requested by the AFP. The teenager “shows traces of blows” and an investigation was opened for attempted murder and violence in a meeting near a school, added the prosecution, confirming information from the Parisian.
According to a police source, the teenager was beaten while leaving the school by several people who then fled. He was in cardio-respiratory arrest when he was taken care of by the firefighters, this source said.
The teenager was found in a street “not far from his school”, and the investigation was entrusted to the Essonne judicial police, said the prosecution. No person has been arrested at this stage, and the investigation should make it possible to “determine the circumstances” of the facts, according to the public prosecutor.
