France is facing a disturbing wave of syringe attacks at nationwide music festivals, with 145 people pricked, including 13 in Paris. The Interior Ministry confirmed arrests of 12 suspects, though the motive, syringe contents, and coordination remain unclear.
Victims in cities like Paris and Metz reported unexpected jabs in crowded areas, raising fears of a resurgence in needle-spiking incidents, similar to past cases in the UK and Europe.
