Cette nuit une élue de mon équipe a été sauvagement agressée dans la rue pour son sac

Elle s’est courageusement défendue et a reçu 4 coups de couteau. Heureusement ses jours ne sont pas en danger

Je veux lui redire mon affection, mon profond soutien et un prompt rétablissement. https://t.co/Xh3CQ8pb0e
