His vacation turned into a tragedy. Last Friday, while walking in the Harlem district in New York, Gabriel Bascou, a young photographer from Montpellier was the victim of a terrible assault as reported Free Midi.
The 27-year-old was spending the evening of Valentine’s Day in love with his girlfriend who lives in New York, he was attacked by an individual with a bladed weapon. He did not hesitate to stab the young Montpellier in the throat, obviously for no reason. The New York Post was able to obtain images of a witness who films the young Montpellier on the ground, a few seconds after the tragedy. In the video, officers try to stop the bleeding.
Be careful, this video may offend the sensitivity.
New York City Police have released a wanted poster with the photo of the suspect identified through CCTV footage: a man dressed all in black, with a beanie, baggy jacket and what looks like jogging pants.
On his Instagram account followed by more than 15,000 people where he publishes his photos, the photographer gave his news. He had to undergo a tracheostomy and is now out of danger. Ironically on his scar, he poses in the company of his relatives, his partner, his mother and his grandmother who came to his bedside in a New York hospital.

A pot Leetchi was launched by his relatives in France to raise the money necessary for his hospitalization, particularly expensive in the United States. The suspect was not arrested despite the wanted notice. Gabriel could well be repatriated to France to continue his care.
