Wednesday, May 14, 2025 - A family
member of a cryptocurrency boss narrowly escaped an attempted
abduction in broad daylight in Paris on Tuesday morning, May 12.
Chilling
footage reveals three men, their faces concealed, attempting to bundle a
woman into a van around 8:20am on Rue Pache. The woman's partner helps to save
her, and the would-be kidnappers flee the scene in their van.
Police have
stated the unnamed 34-year-old victim was accompanied by her two-year-old
child. However, it remains unclear how the toddler managed to evade capture, as
reported by Le Parisien.
A man is seen
intervening in the horror but receives blows from the kidnappers as the
shocking scene unfolded before the eyes of many passers-by, most of whom didn't
get involved despite the victim's screams.
The
attackers, one of whom seemingly lost a handgun, which it is unclear whether
was real or fake, ended up fleeing in a hurry, getting into the back of the
van.
The vehicle
was found on a street in the same area. According to the outlet, the mum who
evaded kidnapping is the daughter of the CEO of a cryptocurrency purchasing
platform.
The Paris
prosecutor's office has asked the anti-banditry brigade to carry out the
investigation.
