In Strasbourg, the mobilization on social networks may have avoided a drama. A man suspected of violence against a young woman was arrested overnight Monday to Tuesday in the Alsatian capital. The police intervened after the alert was given on Snapchat and Twitter by Internet users.
On the video capture of a Snap, we can clearly hear the young, terrorized woman, calling for help. "I swear to you, call the police, I beg you, he is hitting me because I ask him to get out of my house," she implores. The police, notified at 4:50 am by calls to 17, said that they intervened at the home of the young woman, located in the sector of southern Neudorf, ten minutes later.
The call for help of this young girl was received that night from 01/14 at 4:50 am precisely. 2 police crews were dispatched to the scene. The perpetrator was arrested. He is currently being heard by investigators.

Punching, kicking and spitting
"The victim was punched, kicked and spit," said a police source at 20 Minutes . The respondent, 20 years old, was quickly arrested on the street based on the report given by the victim. Drunk at the time of his arrest, he is still in police custody in the premises of the departmental security of the Bas-Rhin, according to our information.
The young woman, 19 years old and very shocked by what she suffered, must see a medical examiner to have her injuries noted and to establish the number of days of ITT. It will then be up to the public prosecutor of Strasbourg to decide on any prosecution against him.
