Two Latvian tourists were sexually assaulted in Paris by a group of seven men on the Champ de Mars, near the Eiffel Tower, on Saturday night, leading to the arrest of four foreign nationals.

Two Algerian and two Egyptian men were arrested at the scene, while three others fled, prompting a police investigation to track them down.

According to Actu17, the assault took place around 2:30 a.m. when officers from the Paris anti-crime brigade, patrolling the area, noticed the two women being surrounded by the group. One of the men was seen attempting to undress one of the victims and kissing her breasts, as reported by a police source. Both women were subjected to inappropriate touching.

Police intervened immediately, arresting four men at the scene. The suspects, identified as adult males of Algerian and Egyptian nationalities, were taken into custody for questioning. The remaining three attackers escaped, and police are reviewing surveillance footage to identify them.

Initially, the victims expressed their intent to file formal complaints. However, due to trauma and shock, they later chose to return to their accommodation to rest. Authorities have stated that the investigation will continue, as prosecutors can still press charges against the suspects without formal complaints from the victims.
