French police said Wednesday they have detained two suspects in connection with an attack on Jewish youths in Lyon but that the main perpetrator of the assault was still at large.
Two of the three suspects in the attack were placed under formal arrest after turning themselves in to police on Wednesday, Lyon prosecutor Marc Cimamonti told reporters.
However, the “main perpetrator” of the attack “remains at large,” local police chief Albert Doutre said.
The attack took place on Saturday in Lyon as the three victims, all of them wearing Jewish skullcaps, left a Jewish school in the east-central city, police said.
