Many young women fear this type of attack. You may come across a man who is soaked in alcohol and has a hatred of the more feminine sex.
We are rue de la Republique, July 1, around 10:30 p.m., in Avignon.
When a group of friends is having a great time, they meet a homeless man aged 47 who cannot stand straight.
The man manages to keep following them, insulting them for many tens of kilometres until he reaches one of them. According to police sources, the victim received a punch and slap in the face. She was lucky to only be slightly hurt. The young women’s cries eventually draw attention to themselves and a car pulls up in front of them. This has the advantage of sending the person fleeing, and he is eventually arrested by the police a few streets further.
After several hours spent in a drunk tank the homeless man was heard and brought before an investigator from the Avignon prosecutor’s office on July 3. The defendant will be tried soon.
