He was thinking about spending time with a prostitute.
He found himself facing four particularly violent men.
During the night from Friday to Saturday, shortly before midnight, the police were alerted that a 48-year-old man from Seine-et-Marnais had just been attacked in Saint-Thibault-des-Vignes.
The forty-year-old had contacted a woman on the dating site coco.fr for a paid sexual service.
Arriving at the meeting place, in the college area, he actually found himself in an ambush.
He had been waiting for quite some time when he saw four men rush in, their faces partly hidden by their jackets.
Tear gas and baton blows
Neither one nor two, the criminals used tear gas to extricate him from his car.
Not to mention that they displayed a handgun.
Punching and kicking: the victim, who was also hit with a telescopic baton, was beaten.
It seems that the quartet wanted to steal his cell phone and bank card.
But the four strangers took off, seeing a car arriving in the neighborhood.
First, the victim returned home.
But given her injuries to her head and her entire body, she went to the GHEF (Grand Hôpital de l'Est Francilien), in Meaux.
Before alerting the police.
For the moment, no one has been arrested.
The investigation, into aggravated violence and attempted extortion, was entrusted to the Lagny-Chessy urban police station.
