At least 145 people, mostly women, were pricked with needles during France’s Fête de la Musique festival across multiple cities, including Paris, Lyon, and Bordeaux. The bizarre syringe attacks triggered panic, with several victims hospitalised for toxicology tests to determine if any drugs or toxins were injected. Authorities confirmed the arrest of 12 suspects but have yet to establish a clear motive. The French Interior Ministry noted that the incidents, though small compared to the festival's nationwide turnout, mark a disturbing trend of needle attacks in public gatherings.
