The kidnappers almost managed to drag a couple with a child into a van in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, writes Le Figaro.

Surveillance camera footage shows four hooded armed men attacking a couple with a child, and hitting the man with a fire extinguisher.

The attacked woman instinctively grabbed the gun of one of the attackers and threw it away. The screams of the attacked couple drew the attention of passers-by, after which the kidnappers fled in a vehicle, leaving the couple on the street.

According to the first results of the investigation, among the suspects for the kidnapping are the daughter and grandson of the co-founder and director of the cryptocurrency trading company Paymium, founded in 2011.

The married couple and their child, whom they tried to kidnap, were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. As Le Figaro reports, an investigation into the attempted kidnapping is ongoing.
