French police have detained 12 suspects after 145 people reported being pricked with syringes during the country’s annual street music festival, officials said Sunday.

Millions of people took to the streets across France on Saturday evening for the Fete de la Musique, with authorities reporting “unprecedented crowds” in Paris.

Before the party, posts on social media had called for women to be targeted during the festivities.

      Anyone can file a police report. And if they believe they were a victim then they are more likely to do that.

          Statistically yes, and since the 80s. Without proof, you have the written feelings of drunk people which is not reliable.
