One dead and two police officers injured after stabbing in France

One person died and two police officers were wounded after a knife attack in the French city of Mallhaus.

The suspect was arrested at the scene.

The man was wounded by two police officers seriously, one in the neck and one in his chest. A passerby tried to intervene and kill.

The suspect is the 37 -year -old Algerian who was subject to deportation because he was on the terrorist monitoring list, according to the local public prosecutor. The public prosecutor opened a terrorist investigation because the suspect cried out “God is great.”

The accident occurred in a demonstration to support the Congo, where the police officers were in a patrol.

“Horror has seized our city,” said Mallhaus’s mayor Michel Lutz on Facebook.

Interior Minister Bruno Retario is expected to visit the scene on Saturday evening.
