Brest Father Brutally Attacked; Attackers Released

A father of six, Yann, was brutally attacked in Brest, France, on May 4th, 2025, while trying to stop a group of young people from vandalizing his car. The assault left him with injuries requiring 10 days of sick leave. "I thought I was going to die," Yann stated in a LinkedIn post, describing the attack. Four minors were arrested but later released due to a lack of sufficient evidence. Despite his ordeal, Yann expressed more compassion than anger towards his attackers in his post, hoping for positive change. The incident has sparked a renewed discussion about youth violence in Brest and the challenges faced by law enforcement in prosecuting such cases. The investigation continues.
