Attacked by 'devil', 11 jump out of window

Eleven members of a family jumped out of a window at their home in the outskirts of Paris, when they thought they were being attacked by a 'devil'

Eleven members of a family jumped out of a window at their home in the outskirts of Paris, when they thought they were being attacked by a 'devil'. One of the people - a four-month-old girl - died in the incident.

The incident took place in La Verriere town, when a woman mistook her African-born husband, who was naked at that time, for a "devil" and began crying loudly, waking up the other people who stayed in the house.

The man had woken up at night to feed their infant daughter.

A clash with the relatives broke out subsequently, and the man received a knife injury and was turned out of doors. His attempt to break into the house scared his family members and 11 of them jumped out of the window.
