A masked gang attempted to abduct the daughter and young grandson of a crypto company executive in Paris, but the family fought back and the attackers fled empty-handed after a violent struggle.
This incident is part of a trend of violent cases targeting individuals connected to the crypto industry in France, with the latest kidnapping attempt being captured on video by an onlooker.
The couple resisted the attack, resulting in the husband getting hit on the head multiple times while the wife managed to disarm one of the culprits. Passers-by eventually intervened, prompting the attackers to retreat.
Following the foiled abduction, the family received medical treatment for minor injuries, and the Paris police unit handling armed robbery is now investigating the incident. This incident is one of several crypto-related kidnappings that have occurred recently in France.
