Two men, suspected of rape, were arrested on the night of Thursday August 25 to Friday August 26 in the 19th arrondissement of Paris.

Around 11:15 p.m., the police were called by two walkers who had just witnessed the attack on a young woman in the middle of the street, on the Quai de la Loire.

"They explain to the police that they have just seen a woman being raped by two strangers," says a source close to the case.

The patrol rushes to the scene.

The victim, aged 19, confirms that two men have just abused her.

During this evening spent by the canal, she met two men who offered her orange juice packaged in a bottle.

"A few minutes after drinking, she would have found herself in a daze feeling a certain euphoria," adds our source.

Her two evening companions would have taken the opportunity to rape her.

The victim, in a state of shock, was taken by the firefighters to the Lariboisière hospital (18th century).

A toxicological analysis will have to determine if she was drugged.

The bottle of poisoned orange juice will be analyzed

Thanks to the description given by the victim and the witnesses, the officials found the two suspects in the neighborhood, homeless people, aged 21 and 26.

The bottle of orange juice was recovered and sent to the laboratory of the police headquarters for its contents to be analyzed.

The two men were placed in police custody in the premises of the police station in the 19th arrondissement of Paris for rape under chemical submission.

In the next forty-eight hours, they will be interviewed before the prosecution decides what to do with this case.

Since the beginning of August, rape cases have multiplied in Paris.

A 49-year-old man was arrested overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

He is suspected of having beaten and raped a 19-year-old woman who was leaving a bar with him.

At the beginning of the month, another victim denounced the same acts committed by a VTC driver who had brought her home after an alcoholic evening.

In the 12th arrondissement, a 25-year-old young woman was attacked by a stranger in the middle of the street.

And in the center, an American tourist had been abused in a public toilet.
