LA VERRIERE, France - Eleven people jumped out of a second-floor window Saturday after apparently thinking they had seen the devil, French authorities said.
Police told Sky News the incident took place in the early hours in La Verriere, west of Paris.
Some of the injured were children, including a 4-month-old baby, who was in a serious condition in a Paris hospital.
"Thirteen people were in an apartment on the second floor when, at around 3 a.m., one of the occupants heard his child crying," Odile Faivre, deputy prosecutor in Versailles, told Sky News.
"The man in question, of African origin, who was completely naked, got up to feed his child, at which point the other occupants took him for the devil.
"He was seriously wounded in the hand after being stabbed with a knife before he was thrown out of the apartment, via the door."
He then tried to force his way back into the room.
"That's when the other occupants tried to escape by jumping out of the window, panicked by a fear of the devil," said Faivre.
Detectives are trying to find out if the group jumped voluntarily or were forced.
Vacationing, obviously.
Was he Black with really big ears?
LOL
thats what I was thinking...sure they didnt just have one of B.O.s “incite the base” dem. comercials on?
Bet they are all registered voters too....even the baby.
This is exactly why you should never live above the first floor.
Well, there's your trouble right there!
That thing hanging down wasn't his tail.
Halloween must be dangerous in France, never know when a crowd will come plummeting down upon a group of school-age trick or treaters.
People can only take so much serious news, I find. Just listen to Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, or Savage — does their show prep sound all that massive? Nothing like half of us on the FR.
My comment was not directed as critical of you posting the article. It was a comment on the people who were playing around with the occult and hurting themselves. :)
You were critical of me? That’s OK FRiend. I get a little carried away with foxhole humor.
Let’s vote!
And the tattoo along the shank reads "Welcome to Zimbabwe - Have a Nice Day"
I've read that in some tribes, the males can lactate and...maybe that's why the others freaked out.
This is the last time I will try to convey this to you. I was NOT BEING CRITICAL OF YOU. Are you teasing me?
“Are you teasing me?”
I don’t even remember what started this conversation. I don’t mean to annoy you, simply to assure you that I’m not troubled, and if I did irritate you, then maybe I deserved [fill the blank]. Hey ... I’m happy!
