Fox News
A 71-year-old retired lawyer from Paris was walking with his family in Manhattan when a group of teens attacked from behind. No arrests have been made.
The family of Giles Viguier, a retired lawyer from Paris, relayed to the N.Y. Daily News how a group of about five teenagers punched the elderly patriarch in midtown Manhattan, knocking him to the ground Saturday, while the French tourists were coming back from dinner during their week-long vacation in the Big Apple.

"They probably heard us speaking French and thought we were tourists," Viguier told Daily News Tuesday, speaking from his hotel.
"We were walking back from the restaurant when a bunch of teenagers came from behind," he said in French, with his son-in-law Michael Poret, 29, translating to the newspaper. "One of the teens pushed me and I turned around to get him to stop, and he punched me in the head and I went down."
