Rudy Haddad, the 17-year-old Jewish day school student who was brutally attacked Saturday night by a gang of 30 youth of African origin, has come out of a coma in the intensive care unit at the Cochin hospital in Paris. He suffered several broken ribs and a fractured skull.
Police arrested five suspects, but several media reports stated that as many as 30 attackers joined the assault, some of them using metal bars. Haddad's father said that there were 15 attackers.
