Three men have been arrested in France in connection with an alleged antisemitic attack on a Jewish teenager in a Paris suburb.

The 18-year-old was walking in the street on Friday when he was set upon by three men who stole his phone and shouted antisemitic abuse at him.

Following the attack in the Sarcelles suburb, the French Interior Minister visited local Jewish leaders at the Great Synagogue to reassure the community.

Manuel Valls said he was "beside [the community] in these trying times".
