A young Jewish man wearing a star of David pendant was called a "dirty Jew" and mugged outside Marseilles’ major train station this week.
Two men on scooters approached the 20-year-old at 3.30 pm on February 4 outside Saint-Charles train station.
After seeing the Jewish symbol, the muggers are reported to have called the victim a "dirty Jew" and torn the necklace from him, driving away on the scooters.
Another group of men at the scene began to direct antisemitic abuse at the victim. They then stole 100 Euros and an MP3 player from his belongings.
