Video shows a man getting beaten by a bunch of thugs during an attempted robbery of his moped in France.
Translated from French via Google Translate:
“A real beating for the theft of a two-wheeler took place on Wednesday evening in Viry-Châtillon (Essonne), near the sensitive district of Grande Borne. Warned in recent days of several acts of theft in an organized gang, the police had put in place for several days a reinforced surveillance in Grigny.
Shortly after 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, they spotted the presence of a scooter and a motorcycle, both black in color, ridden by four hooded individuals, dressed in black.
At a traffic light, the individuals suddenly got off their moped to try to steal the two-wheeler of a 43-year-old man, hitting him several times. On a video, we see the driver being unbalanced and knocked to the ground by four men, one of whom seems armed.
The thugs were quick to flee on foot, seeing the Anti-Crime Squad (BAC) present on the spot. One of them fell during his run, throwing his handgun. He quickly got up but fell again, allowing law enforcement to arrest him. Aged 19, he was taken into custody, confirms a police source, as well as a second suspect. A flagrant investigation was opened for the facts of attempted robbery in an organized gang with a weapon.”
