He walked quietly on the towpath that runs along the Marne, as he does every day.
But the day of this high school student has completely changed, this Friday, around 10:45 am, just before the small pedestrian bridge which connects Saint-Maurice to Maisons-Alfort.
The 15-year-old teenager, educated in second at Paul-Bert high school located nearby, was violently attacked by the occupants of a car which stopped at his height.
“Three hooded individuals arrested him, asking him what he was doing there, reports a police source.
Two men then got out of the vehicle, knives in hand, to try to steal his smartphone.
The victim not letting himself be done, the attackers made him fall to the ground.
They then stabbed him several times and even kicked him in the head.

He crosses the Marne by the footbridge before the firefighters are called
Despite the wounds and blows received, the boy managed to walk to the rue du Gué-aux-Aurochs, on the other side of the footbridge, in Maisons-Alfort, before the students, many in this district, do not notify the fire department.
After first aid on the spot, the Paris fire brigade took him to the Henri-Mondor hospital in Créteil, where he was treated.
This Saturday, he returned home.
“It can be fine, confides a relative of the boy.
He is resting.
But he still took ten stab wounds!
All this, a priori, for a phone!

The teenager, who lives in Chevilly-Larue, was stabbed with a knife: in the right arm, in the right leg and thigh, in the left leg and even in the chest.
The investigation was entrusted to the Maisons-Alfort police station, which will study in particular the images of the CCTV cameras in the sector.

His injuries, however, shouldn't keep the teenager away from high school for too long.
It was in this establishment, in December 2021, that after a student had been beaten in front of the Paul-Bert vocational school, teachers had stopped teaching.
Introduction of knives, fights between young people, assault on a teacher… In a few months, the incidents had multiplied.
“But important work has been done by the high school management team and by the police, the surroundings of the high school are calm at the moment”, reassures Marie-France Parrain (LR), mayor of Maisons-Alfort.
