A 17-year-old had a great fright late Thursday afternoon.

While he was riding a scooter on the avenue de Lespinet side in Toulouse, he was forced to slow down.

It is at this time that young people take the opportunity to surround him, with the firm intention of stealing his two-wheeler.

To achieve this, they strike blows to make him fall from his machine and do not hesitate to use a taser to paralyze him, said a police source.

But in this district in the south-east of Toulouse, their actions are quickly spotted by passers-by.

Faced with the violence of the scene, some do not hesitate to intervene and help the young victim.

Alerted, police arrived on the scene arrested three of the young attackers, aged 15 to 17 years.

The latter were placed in police custody and will subsequently be summoned by the juvenile judge for their indictment.
