This is quite terrifying…
Over 300 people in France have been pricked with needles in nightclubs over the last several months.
After several victims noticed small needle marks and bruises on their skins they turned to the police to find an answer.
Investigators have not been able to find out the culprits behind the crimes but doctors have excluded the notion that the victims were injected with Hepatitis or HIV.
Doctors are testing whether or not the pricked victims were injected with some type of drug.

Sky News had these details to share:
More than 300 people in France have reported being pricked out of the blue with needles at nightclubs or concerts in recent months.
Although doctors and multiple prosecutors are on the case, no one knows who’s doing it or why, and whether the victims have been injected with drugs – or indeed any substance at all.
People from Paris, Toulouse, Nantes, Nancy, Rennes and other cities around France have reported being pricked with a needle without their knowledge or permission.
The targeted individuals, who are mostly women, show visible marks of injection, often bruises, and report symptoms like feeling groggy.
Club owners and police are trying to raise awareness, and a rapper even interrupted his recent show to warn concert-goers about the risk of surprise needle attacks.
The problem is not isolated to France.
The UK government is studying a spate of “needle spiking” there, and police in Belgium and the Netherlands are investigating scattered cases too.

Across France, more than 300 people have reported being pricked out of the blue with needles at nightclubs or concerts in recent months.

Club owners and police are trying to raise awareness, and a rapper even interrupted his recent show to warn concert-goers about the risk of surprise needle attacks.
It’s not just France: Britain’s government is studying a spate of “needle spiking” there, and police in Belgium and the Netherlands are investigating scattered cases too.
On May 4, 18-year-old Tomas Laux attended a rap concert in Lille in northern France, where he smoked a bit of marijuana and drank some alcohol during the show. When he came home, he told The Associated Press, he was feeling dizzy and had a headache – and he spotted a strange little skin puncture on his arm and a bruise.
The next morning, the symptoms didn’t disappear and Laux went to his doctor, who advised him to go to the emergency room. Medics confirmed evidence of a needle prick, and Laux was tested for HIV and hepatitis. His results came out negative, like other victims’ so far.
“I’ve given up going to concerts since it happened,” Laux said.
I wonder if Europe will try to ban needles now?
