being dragged along a train by an attacker suspected to be from Eastern Europe, reports said Tuesday.
The Taiwanese man and two friends were involved in a dispute with four presumably Eastern European men around 11 p.m. Sunday on the suburban train network known as RER, according to the French newspaper Le Parisien.
The Taiwanese had boarded the C Line train at Pont de l’Alma station, and as the four insulted them and shouted at them, they chose to leave the train at the next station, Champ de Mars, near the Eiffel Tower.
However, as the train was leaving, one of the suspects spit at a Taiwanese man, put his arm through an open window and grabbed him, dragging him along with the train. After a few meters, the Taiwanese tourist fell into the gap between the train and the platform, causing serious multiple fractures, Le Parisien reported. [FULL STORY]
