World 800m champion Pierre-Ambroise Bosse says he suffered 'unspeakable psychological damage' after a late night attack while on Holiday

BORDEAUX, France – World 800m champion Pierre-Ambroise Bosse sustained “multiple facial fractures” after a vicious late-night attack in the southwest Gironde region of France last weekend.

Bosse, 25, said on his Facebook page Wednesday, August 30 that he was the “victim of a violent attack” while on holiday and had been “brutally assaulted by 3 individuals”. 

He said he had suffered “unspeakable psychological damage” as a result of the incident and had been forced to put an early end to his season.

“Me who has always loved people, I love 3 less of them today,” Bosse wrote.

A police investigation is continuing after a complaint was filed, with authorities still on the hunt for the assailants.

According to the website of the Sud Ouest newspaper, the attack occurred at around 4 am local time on Sunday morning in the car park of the Gujan-Mestras casino. 

Bosse had reportedly spent the night out with friends when he was approached by the 3 people, posing for a photo alongside them before events turned sour.

At the world championship final in London this month Bosse produced a stunning burst with 150m to go to give France their first-ever gold in the 800m. – Rappler.com
