Four young female U.S. tourists were attacked this morning with acid in the French city of Marseille by a woman who has been arrested by the Marseille prosecutor’s office.
A spokeswoman for the Marseille prosecutor’s office says two of the tourists were injured in the face in the attack in the city’s main Saint Charles train station and one of them has a possible eye injury. She said all four of the tourists, who are in their 20s, have been hospitalized, two of them for shock and a 41-year-old female suspect has been arrested.
The spokeswoman did not release any further details about the victims or the suspect as she spoke on condition of anonymity because of the French judicial system. There was no immediate information on where the U.S. tourists were from.
