As reported by the European Jewish Press, a disturbing incident of anti-Semitic harassment occurred on the Paris Metro last Wednesday, leaving passengers shaken. According to eyewitness accounts, a man entered the train at Richard Lenoir station and began verbally assaulting a family, including a young girl.
He spat at the girl and her parents while calling them “bastards, bastards” and “youpins”. He also said, “Hitler was right, he should have killed all the Jews."
A 25-year-old woman bravely confronted the man, and attempted to film the incident on her phone to report it to authorities. "I'm going to press charges against you," she can be heard saying in the footage. The assailant responded with further insults.
"I couldn't help myself. It was impossible for me not to react, even though I was very scared," the young woman later told a lawyer. She expressed shock at being the only passenger to intervene during the incident.
Authorities are investigating the matter.
