During the recent Fête de la Musique street festival in France, nearly 150 attendees reported being attacked with syringes, resulting in over a dozen young women requiring hospitalization. Authorities have arrested 12 suspects in connection with these incidents, which raised concerns particularly for women and girls targeted during the festival. The shocking series of syringe attacks has prompted calls for increased vigilance at public events, as investigations continue into the motives behind these assaults and their potential links to date-rape drugs. The events not only marred the festive atmosphere but have also sparked a national conversation on safety at music festivals.
