Esch-sur-AlzettePedestrian assaulted and robbed by four men

RTL Today
On Tuesday evening at around 6PM a young pedestrian became the victim of a brutal robbery that occurred in the area surrounding the train station.

He was first harassed and then coerced into surrendering his mobile phone by the perpetrators. As they continued to pressure him, the victim gave them cash after he was forced to withdraw the money first. They also stole his headphones.

The four culprits then coerced him into following them to the rue Burgoard where one person assaulted him in an alleyway, punching him with his fist. A second person then grabbed him by the throat and repeatedly threatened him before the victim managed to escape his perpetrators.
