A Jewish family in Paris was attacked and robbed because of their religion, an antisemitism watchdog has confirmed.
The family, who own a jewellery shop in Paris, were attacked and tied up by three masked men of African descent holding handguns on Wednesday morning.
The son was said to suffer from “serious injuries” and was treated in hospital along with his parents.
The National Bureau for Vigilance Against Antisemitism (BNVCA) said the attackers targeted the family home in Le Blanc-Mesnil, in Paris’s north-east suburbs, because the family was Jewish and believed they were rich.
