The daughter of a cryptocurrency CEO and her 2-year-old child were attacked by a group of knife-wielding kidnappers in the center of Paris on Tuesday, harrowing video shows.
The scene unfolded on the same morning Kim Kardashian arrived at a Paris court to testify in a jewelry heist trial wearing a $3 million diamond necklace — less than two miles away.
Footage of the attack shows the moment the masked men violently try to force the woman, 34, into their van with her 2-year-old daughter as she screams for help.
The men try to force the woman into a Chronopost delivery van before they’re scared off by a heroic passerby who chases them with a fire extinguisher, hurling it at them as the suspects run away.
The victims were also saved by the child’s father, 30, who shielded them with his body and suffered multiple blows and a possible stab wound from the would-be kidnappers, Le Parisien reported.
The victims in Tuesday’s attack were identified only as the family of a CEO of a cryptocurrency purchasing platform, according to local media.
The suspects remain on the run after their vehicle was found in the same borough near Rue Pache in the 11th arrondissement
