Residents of a city in France have been urgently warned to avoid going to rural places alone “even during the day” after a female jogger was brutally attacked by a sex predator of “Mediterranean” appearance, according to reports.
The shocking assault unfolded just after 5 p.m. on Monday in Nîmes, located in the south of France.
A woman on a run in the village of Courbessac was ambushed by a man who hit her in the face, doused her with an unidentified liquid, and pulled her pants down before she could escape.
The suspect is described as having a unibrow and being of “Mediterranean type,” which could indicate he comes from North Africa or the Middle East.
