A TEENAGE victim in a wave of “syringe stabbings” at a French festival has said the attack left her feeling “sick and scared”.

Around 145 revellers, largely teen girls, are said to have been stabbed with hypodermic needles across the weekend sending dozens to hospital.

One victim – who cannot be identified for legal reasons – was pricked on the back of her left arm in central Paris at the weekend.

Aged just 15, she assaulted at the the country-wide street festival Fête de la Musique (Music Party) on Saturday night.

She told The Sun: “I was absolutely terrified.

“I felt a sharp sensation in my arm, and then realised I’d been attacked with a syringe.

“My older sister and friends got me to a hospital as quickly, but it was hours before tests could be carried out.

“Thankfully, I was given the all clear, but still felt really ill and scared.”

The stabbings happened across France with 13 jabbed in Paris after “unprecedented crowds” hit the capital, according to cops.

Disgusting calls on social media had spread before the festival calling for women to be stabbed, according to Le Monde.

Some victims were taken to hospital for toxicology tests after fears they could have been injected with a mystery poison.

French cops have arrested 12 people over the sick act but none have been been charged, a police source said.

An alarming trend has resurfaced, recalling a previous horror nightclub fad where predominantly young males terrorized girls with claims of injecting notorious date rape substances like GHB.

Investigating officers and medical experts said the syringes are in fact usually empty and simply used to strike fear into huge groups of people.

Dr. Gérald Kierzek, an emergency physician and the medical director at Doctissimo, remarked that the phenomenon of “needlestick attacks in crowded places resurfaced this weekend.”

He said: “In 2022, a similar movement took place in nightclubs and festivals, causing a fear of GHB attacks.”

Dr. Kierzek noted that the incidents of these so-called “pricks” seldom involved actual syringes, clarifying: “These are often carried out using compasses, sewing needles, or makeshift sharp instruments.”

“These tools can certainly cause injury, but do not allow for effective injections or true viral transmission.”

Dr. Kierzek said it was “theoretically possible” for drugs to be injected into random strangers in crowds but unlikely.

The doctor explained: “Injecting an active substance requires precision, sufficient volume, and hygienic conditions… conditions that are difficult to achieve in a crowd or a concert hall.”

In 2021, a terrified student in Nottingham was spiked with a needle in a nightclub.

It came amid reports of other women being injected with a mystery liquid in a string of shock attacks.

University of Nottingham student Zara Owen, 19, was out with friends at Pryzm nightclub on October 11.

She said she entered the club and made her way to the bar – but that is the last thing she can remember before waking up in her bed the next day.
