“So far, the victim has recognised one of his attackers,” said Mr Elharrar.
Créteil is home to 22,000 Jews — one of France’s largest Jewish communities. Jews represent about 20 per cent of the local population.
It has been targeted twice in the past three years, including an antisemitic robbery and rape in 2014. Several families have left the city since then; most to Israel.
Jewish leaders say antisemitism is still a major threat in France, although the number of attacks dropped by 61 per cent in the first 10 months of 2016. Last year, antisemitism reached record levels with 808 assaults, including the terrorist attack on the HyperCacher supermarket in which four men were killed.
