TWO men have reportedly urinated on a pregnant homeless woman and her children in an alleged vile assault on the streets of Paris.
The young family were sleeping on the ground outside the iconic Paris City Hall alongside hundreds of migrants when they claim they were degraded.

A pair of Parisians, aged around 20, are accused of urinating on the mum and her daughters, aged 6 and 14 months, at 1am on Sunday.
The claim has come from Utopia 56 Paris association who organised the gathering of homeless people in France.
They described the incidents as “extremely serious” and confirmed a complaint has been filed.
The humiliated and scared mother has said the ordeal has left her children crying for days.
She said: “Since then, my daughter hasn’t been able to sleep. She says they’re going to come back and pee on her.
“She won’t stop crying, and other children make fun of her.”
The men fled the scene when they were spotted by Utopia 56 Paris staff, according to the organisation.
Two officers were alerted and managed to track down the men.
One has reportedly been arrested.
Utopia 56 Paris released a statement on the alleged attack as they detailed why hundreds of homeless people have been camping outside Paris City Hall.
They said: “This occurred after approximately 300 homeless people, including a dozen unaccompanied minors and around a hundred young children, had just spent five days and five nights on the forecourt of Paris City Hall.
“They are simply asking for the law to be respected, to escape extreme poverty, and to access emergency accommodation.
“The humanitarian situation there is deteriorating by the day.”
Dozens of families have been seen sleeping on the floor using tarpaulin sheets as roofs as part of the latest demonstrations in Paris.
Nearly 300 migrants, mostly women and children, have been gathered since August 5.
Those taking part are simply asking for shelter, according to Utopia 56 Paris.
Pictures of the event show families taking shelter under the tarpaulin with some wrapped in blankets and others using sleeping bags.
Many of them have packed up their belongings into plastic shipping bags.

The makeshift tents are surrounded by metal gates with the sun beaming down on the migrants throughout the day.
Nathan Lequeux, coordinator of the Utopia 56 association’s Paris branch, told InfoMigrants: “We will not move until a lasting solution is found.”
The organisation has been handing out breakfast and lunch to those outside with the numbers of migrants increasing each day.
About 90 children are outside the building with Utopia 56 counting more than 30 under three year olds.
It comes as France has been battling with a major migrant issue in recent months.
In July, French riot cops were attacked by a mob hurling rocks just yards away from the shore.
The shocking clashes between migrants and cops were caught on camera while small fires are alight in the road near a park in Gravelines.
Footage showed a group throwing rocks from afar in the direction of the officers in the northern coastal town early on Friday morning.
It comes after a new migrant deal was agreed between the UK and France in a bid to tackle the small boats crisis.
Last week, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron agreed a one in, one out migrant returns deal in a bid to crack down on the crossings and the people smuggling gangs who operate them.
But France will be able to choose which migrants to take back – prompting fears that the UK will be stuck with dangerous criminals.
The details of each migrant selected for return will be given to France, allowing it to reject those with a criminal record or deemed a security risk.
Both France and the UK will have a veto over which of the small boat migrants they take in.
Britain will take into account if the migrants have a connection to the country and if they have lived here before.
