It was the victim’s sons who put the criminals to flight. The financial director of the Saint-Gobain group was the subject of a homejacking attempt on Monday afternoon at his Parisian home located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. According to our information, a man knocked on the door of the apartment, located on the fourth floor of the building, around 5:30 p.m. He then pushed and slammed the wife of the businessman who was absent to the ground.
Two other criminals then entered the home. Luckily, the couple’s two sons, aged around 20, heard their mother’s cries. They managed to put the three men to flight, who left without taking any objects. The victims are slightly injured. The mother has marks on her neck and lip, and one of her sons has a bleeding wound on his arm, indicates a police source.
