Three individuals have been sentenced by the Angers judicial court for the violent assault of a young woman returning from a party on April 18, 2025.
The victim, who was attacked by a man and two women on the Pont des Arts et Métiers bridge in Angers, suffered severe injuries, including a broken collarbone, cuts requiring stitches, and multiple bruises. She was signed off from work for 45 days due to her injuries.
The court heard how the woman was beaten after an argument erupted over her clothing. She was knocked to the ground and kicked repeatedly by her attackers. One of the accused, a 21-year-old woman, admitted her role in court, saying, “When she’s on the ground, I kicked her. It’s not right, it’s the group’s influence.”
As reported by Ouest France, her co-defendants, a 22-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man, also faced trial but offered differing accounts of the incident, with each trying to minimize their role in the attack.
“This is a festival of bad faith,” remarked the victim’s lawyer, Mathias Jarry, who said the attackers showed little remorse and seemed to believe the victim “deserved” the violence. Prosecutor Éric Bouillard described the trio as “predators who circle around to find targets and then look for a motive to justify their actions.”
The court deemed that 23-year-old Mohamed Gdiri was the primary aggressor. His nationality has not been disclosed, but he received a two-year custodial sentence and was permanently banned from French territory.
The nationalities of his female co-defendants were also not reported. They received suspended prison sentences of six months and nine months, respectively.
Gdiri was also convicted of a separate robbery committed later that evening, during which he stole a phone at knifepoint.
