A 15-year-old was severely beaten by several people Thursday afternoon in Viry-Châtillon as he left his college. He was found in a street "not far from his school" and has since been hospitalized with a life-threatening prognosis.
An investigation has been opened for attempted murder and violence in a meeting near a school, the Évry prosecutor's office told AFP. The events occurred 48 hours after the attack on a 13- year-old girl in front of a middle school in a working-class area of Montpellier.
