A man suspected of assaulting two women because one of them wore a skirt deemed too short, was arrested and taken into custody in Mulhouse (Haut-Rhin) on Wednesday, reports 20 minutes.
According to RTL, the two friends were walking in the city center of Mulhouse, when around 4.30 pm, the 18-year-old suspect would have launched to the one who was in a skirt: “You don't want to dress shorter?
"
The tone would then be raised and the young man would have slapped one of the two women, before pushing her to the ground, slightly injuring her knee.
The victim's friend, trying to intervene, was grabbed by the neck by the aggressor before being pushed back, without being injured.
A witness then called the police, who arrested the attacker.
The latter, known to the police, was taken into custody.
The wearer of the skirt, who received three days of ITT, filed a complaint according to RTL.
