## Reported figures

- 1 arrests

## Coverage angles

The three sides report the same facts (arrest of a 35-year-old man in Toulouse, sexual assaults in the metro and near the Capitole), but differ in vocabulary and emphasized elements: origin and administrative status on the right, detailed account of the assault on the left, factual synthesis and number of complaints in the center.

**Common ground**

- A 35-year-old man was arrested near the Capitole in Toulouse following a sexual assault
- He is suspected of several other similar assaults, notably in the metro, since April
- A 28-year-old woman on her way to work is the victim of the assault that led to the arrest
- Two of the mentioned victims are minors

**Differences**

- The right emphasizes the suspect's Bangladeshi origin and his status under OQTF, elements absent or secondary in the center
- The left details the assault gesture (pinned against a wall, forced caresses and kisses), an angle absent from the center and the right
- The center explicitly cites the number of complaints filed (three women), a detail not taken up as such by the other sides
