Paris: A Jewish boy escaped from an anti-Semitic lynching in the tenth district of Paris.

Raymond, 17, was attacked on Saturday by a score of North Africans in front of his building, on Albert Camus street.Wearing a kippa, the religious youth, was waiting for a neighbor to open the automatic door of the building for him so as not to to desecrate the Shabbat, when he was severely beaten in the face and all over the body, without reason. A Jewish neighbor, who called the police, saved his life. The police dispersed the attackers, without arresting anyone, and transported Raymond, in a state of shock, to hospital. Sammy Ghozlan, the president of the National Bureau of Vigilance against anti-Semitism, called on the French police to make every effort to identify and arrest those responsible for this anti-Semitic attack. The CRIF has already protested against the closure of the police station in the area.
