According to witnesses, two people fled after the attack, a spokesperson for the Geneva police, Alexandre Brahier, told Swiss agency Keystone-ATS on Sunday evening, confirming online information from the Tribune de Genève. “No arrests” have taken place for the moment, he added.
For several weekends, the crowds of young people have moved to the English Garden and have given rise to “more thefts and assaults”, according to the spokesperson. During the night from Saturday to Sunday, these people were “drunk” and “excited”, he also explains.
Due to the aggressive attitude towards the security forces, several patrols were activated. Also in the area, the police were alerted several times between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. in this area, in particular for a person who was allegedly robbed by individuals. She now wants to go further “with a stronger presence” in this site, also says the spokesperson.
