Multiple suspects have been arrested in France after 145 people were reportedly pricked with syringes during an annual music festival.<\/p>\n

What is the F\u00eate de la Musique?<\/h2>\n

All over\u00a0France<\/a>, millions took to the streets for the yearly F\u00eate de la Musique, which translates to ‘celebration of\u00a0music<\/a>‘, on 21 June.<\/p>\n

The street parties welcomed ‘unprecedented crowds’ across venues, parks and street corners. However, it’s been reported that women attending the festival were receiving threats prior.<\/p>\n

Who was targeted during the F\u00eate de la Musique?<\/h2>\n

Threats were made to women on\u00a0social media<\/a>, with the interior ministry later confirming that 145 people, mostly teenage girls, were pricked with syringes.<\/p>\n

Le Monde\u00a0reports<\/a>\u00a0that ‘more than 370 people were detained during the festival on various charges’ nationwide, ‘including nearly 90 people in Paris’.<\/p>\n

Fourteen festival goers were seriously injured, including ‘a 17-year-old who was hospitalised after being found sitting on the street with stab wounds to the lower abdomen’, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

Thirteen members of the police force were also injured.<\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ois Grosdidier, the mayor of Metz, said the first attack in his city was reported to police at 9:15pm on the Rue du Palais in northeastern France.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe municipal police identified him on Rue Serpenoise, arrested him, and made him available to the National Police and the Justice Department,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that the investigation, particularly through the examination of his cellphone, will lead to the identification of other attackers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grosdidier also noted that one individual was arrested for ‘slapping a young girl’.<\/p>\n

The politician said authorities were across a ‘few brawls’ in the evening and ‘also intervened to save a\u00a0dog<\/a>\u00a0in crisis’. He said the animal was ‘locked in a car’.<\/p>\n

In Paris, it has been reported that at least three people, including a 15-year-old girl and an 18-year-old male, were stabbed in three different locations in Paris.<\/p>\n

Twelve individuals are suspected to be responsible for the stabbings, and have been arrested. A police source also said that they are believed to have targeted around 50 victims.<\/p>\n

What was in the syringes?<\/h2>\n

Police did not say if the syringes were filled with date-rape drugs such as Rohypnol or GHB, used by predators to make women vulnerable to sexual assault.<\/p>\n
