Shortly afterwards, a man was attacked by two other men on Rue de Trèves. The perpetrators tried to steal the man’s bracelet, but were discouraged when their victim fought back. They threw him to the ground and took his mobile phone before attempting to flee the scene. Fortunately, the police were able to locate the attackers. A body check returned negative results and they both were issued with written complaints.
