Lyon - A group of teenaged boys threw rocks at a 14-year-old girl because she was eating a sandwich instead of fasting for Ramadan, a police spokesperson in the French city of Lyon said on Tuesday.
Two of the four boys taken into custody have confessed attacking the girl in the courtyard of her secondary school last Thursday because she was eating during the Islamic holy month.
The girl took refuge in the school infirmary, where was reportedly in shock, but not injured.
Her parents have filed a complaint against the four youths, who were 15 and 16 years of age.
