French authorities are searching for an assailant who attacked a man leaving a synagogue in Paris, says Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin.

Darmanin says the alleged attack on a man in his early 60s was a new antisemitic attack that occurred in Paris Friday evening.

Everything is being done to apprehend the perpetrator of this unspeakable act, Darmanin says in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Reports in French media say that an assailant was seen physically and verbally assaulting a man in his early 60s on Friday around 5:30 p.m. local time as he was leaving a synagogue in Pariss 20th arrondissement.

The assailant kicked and punched the man several times, and shouted an ethnic slur at him, according to a report by French broadcaster BFM, citing police sources. The victim of the attack was taken to a hospital. The suspected attacker fled on foot, the report also said.
