Lynda Sherazade, known as “Lynda”, was attacked by two young masked individuals armed with a knife. The thieves attempted to steal a luxury watch attached to the singer's wrist before being chased away from the premises by the salon manager.

The events occurred around 7 p.m., while the artist - known for her R&B songs - was in a beauty salon located along Boulevard Denis Papin, in the 15th arrondissement of the city. An investigation was opened and entrusted to the Bouches-du-Rhône national police.
