Sept. 18, suffering serious injuries.
The man, who was traveling with two other Taiwanese, had been involved in an argument with a group of four Eastern European men on a metro train, local newspaper Le Parisien reports.
According to Le Parisien, one of the Eastern European men spat on the Taiwanese man. The three Taiwanese tourists disembarked at the Champ-de-Mars station, near the Eiffel Tower, but the argument continued through the window of the train. One Eastern European man allegedly grabbed the Taiwanese man’s arm through the window as the train was starting to move.
The Taiwanese man was dragged along the platform and fell onto the tracks when the train left the station. The tourist suffered multiple fractures and is being treated at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris. [FULL STORY]
