Everything is going well for Jérôme, delighted with his new life in Saint-Martin. Until this famous Friday February 2, when he was cowardly attacked by four individuals. “I had just left my friends in the evening after announcing to them that I had just moved into a new apartment on rue des Ecoles in Grand-Case,” emphasizes Jérôme. “On the way back, I came across two individuals sitting on a chair. In the process, two other people on scooters arrived and hit me from behind. I was stunned while trying to defend myself. Wasted effort since two other individuals joined my attackers. In the space of a few seconds, I was kicked to the ground for no reason whatsoever. I really went through hell. I shouted for help in the street but no one came to my aid! »
Return to mainland France
The victim's story is chilling. After experiencing this traumatic scene, Jérôme was hospitalized at the Louis-Constant Fleming center. Medical examinations revealed a foot fracture which requires surgery. He also suffered multiple bruises. The latter then contacted his insurance and the decision was made to repatriate him to mainland France at the beginning of last week. Jérôme's stay was cut short because of a few individuals who harmed the beautiful image of Saint-Martin. In advance, we wish him a speedy recovery. _AF
