According to prosecutors, the alleged attacks took place between December 2023 and June 2026 on a route linking Arènes metro station to the International School of Colomiers, with the suspect targeting women and girls traveling alone.

Europe has recently seen a slew of cases of Sudanese migrant violence as well as a growing wave of asylum seeker arrivals from Sudan as the civil war there has entered its 4th year of war without an end in sight.

One of the fighting sides, the Muslim Brotherhood-allied Sudanese Armed Forces has been imposing strict Islamist policies and instilling a hatred for “unbelievers” in the population in the areas they control.

Apart from just the local chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood, Turkey, the Islamic regime in Iran and Qatar have all also been strengthening their Islamist allies in Sudan. Meanwhile, the EU has done little to nothing to stop this new wave of Sudanese migration to Europe.

Family member Joseph Headfield said the violence began around 10 p.m. after a group allegedly threw chairs and attacked his relatives near the resort's pool. He said the assault was preceded by racial threats from a woman he described as the group's ringleader, who shouted: "We're going to beat up the haole boys." "Haole" is a Hawaiian term commonly used to describe white people or non-locals.

According to relatives Daniel and Julie, six victims aged 17 to 62 required medical treatment. One family member was struck in the head with a chair while trying to protect relatives and needed 13 staples to close the wound.

Maui Police responded to a disturbance involving around 30 people. A 20-year-old man from Makawao was arrested on suspicion of assault but was later released while detectives continue investigating.
