Three African immigrants have been arrested in the Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois for attacking a man by biting at his face and eating pieces of his flesh.
The men, all from Cape Verde, were arrested on Sunday after they attacked a French citizen who was walking in the Hector-Berlioz alley at around 6 pm. According to police, the immigrants bit off pieces of his ear and lower lip.
Breitbart.com reports: The victim was able to fight off the attackers, wounding one of them in the ankle, before police arrived a short time later and arrested the three Africans.

Clichy-sous-Bois has become infamous as one of the most troubled no-go zones surrounding the French capital. The massive riots that occurred in 2005 began in the area when a pair of teenagers running from the police killed themselves by hiding in an electric power station.
Since then, Clichy-sous-Bois has been associated with further riots, as was the case last year, and with a connection to the rising tide of radical Islamic extremism in France.
Many other suburbs in the Seine-Saint-Denis area have been declared no-go zones because of their high levels of crime.

Last week one random act of violence saw a man stab six people in the heavily-migrant populated 18th arrondissement of Paris before he was arrested by police, soaked in blood.
