France: Jewish kid tasered in antisemitic gang attack

This is the 5th attack reported in the past two weeks (here, here, here and here).

French police are looking into reports that a gang of youths tasered a Jewish teenager in central Paris.

The National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, or BNVCA, said it had contacted police based on reports in French Jewish media of the alleged assault, which according to the news site Alliance.fr happened on Tuesday on Paris’ iconic Place de La Republique square. 

According to the report, a group of six black teenagers used an electric taser on a Jewish boy identified by Alliancefr.com only by his first name, Raphael. He was wearing a kippah and tzitzit and was attacked for his Jewish appearance in an apparent anti-Semitic assault, Alliancefr reported.
