While the deputy of the 1st constituency of the Alpes-Maritimes, Eric Ciotti, denounces a growing insecurity in Nice, with 36 wounded by firearm or knife since the beginning of the year, a violent attack took place not far from the capital of the Riviera Wednesday afternoon, in Antibes Juan-les-Pins. Information from Nice-Matin confirmed to Le Figaro Thursday by a police source.

A teenager, aged 15, was stabbed in the back twice at Avenue de l'Estérel, shortly before 16 p.m. Quickly dispatched to the scene, the firefighters took care of him in a serious condition and transported to the Lenval hospital in Nice. An investigation was opened in the wake by the Grasse prosecutor's office to determine the circumstances of the attack, which remain unclear at this stage. "It would be a settling of scores between rival gangs," whispers a policeman.
