A visibly Jewish teenager was attacked on Sunday evening in the northwestern suburbs of Paris, according to French media reports.

Around 7pm local time, the kippah-wearing 15-year-old was exiting a metro station in Levallois-Perret, a residential area in the Hauts-de-Seine department, when two youths approached him.

“They quickly remove his kippah, but the two individuals turn around and start telling him: ‘And you, the Jew, wait for us, wait for us,'” the victim’s mother told CNews TV. “My son stopped and turned around to look at who these people were who were calling out to him. He then continued to move forward, but one of them managed to grab him by the hood.”

She continued: “They put him in a corner next to another subway exit and told him: ‘Give us your cell phone.’ They ripped off his earphones and then they hit him in the face and mouth.”
