A photographer from the daily Ouest-France was also assaulted by members of the group while taking photos, the newspaper announced on its website.
"Several passengers of the group fall on him, one of them enters his car and grabs a camera on the passenger seat. (...) The members of the group then asked to erase all the photos present on the storage cards. Then they took a picture of him," the daily adds.
