Arrests in France after scores report being attacked with syringes at street music festival

.

ER Editor: France has a nationwide music festival in the summer, which happened this past Saturday, a day of high temperatures.

The unusual level of physical threat at what should be a usually enjoyable summer event has shaken people somewhat —

La Fleche is a small place out in the middle of nowhere, north-western France near Le Mans —

Translation: I was at the La Flèche music festival, we had to leave the party around 11 p.m. after seeing several men with syringes in their hands, we then learned later that there were victims of knife attacks, in short in a small town like La Flèche!!!

J’étais à la fête de la musique de La Flèche, on a dut quitter la fête vers 23h après avoir vue plusieurs hommes avec des seringues à la main, on a ensuite appris plus tard que il y’a eut des victime d’attaques au couteau bref dans une petite ville comme la flèche !!!
