Killed for a phone? On Sunday, a knife attack resulted in the death of Tarek, a Tunisian in his thirties, a customer of the “Zinc 62”, a small bar-restaurant on rue d’Avron, in Paris (20th arrondissement). According to the owner of the establishment, around 9:45 p.m., “an altercation” broke out with a man whom Tarek, seated at a table on the terrace drinking tea, accused of having stolen his phone, reports The Parisian. “Tarek protested by calling him names and insults,” he recalls. The alleged thief allegedly left the restaurant, before returning “ten minutes later with a knife.” “He then stabbed his victim in the chest and then left on his bike,” reports The Parisian. Tarek managed to get up from his chair, took a few steps towards the counter, before collapsing in the room. Emergency services were called and went to the scene of the altercation, but the injured man was in cardio-respiratory arrest. Transported with his vital prognosis engaged, under motorized escort, to the hospital of La Pitié-Salpêtrière, in Paris (13th arrondissement), the thirty-year-old succumbed to his injuries.
