A native of Algeria with a knife attacked the police when they were sitting in a car near the building of the commissariat.
In Cannes, France, an Algerian man attacked police officers with a knife. About it informs Figaro newspaper on Monday 8 November.
A man at about 06:30 attacked three police officers sitting in a car in front of the building of the commissariat. Opening the car door, he stabbed the police officer who was driving several times with a knife. He then went around the car to attack another patrolman. The third policeman managed to open fire from his service weapon and neutralized the criminal – now he is in critical condition. At the same time, none of the law enforcement officers was injured – one of them was saved by a bulletproof vest.
The publication clarifies that the attacker’s name is Lakhdar B., he was born in Algeria in 1984 and has a residence permit in Italy. The attacker pronounced the name of the Prophet Muhammad, so the police do not rule out a terrorist motive for the attack.
The Minister of the Interior Gerald Darmanen urgently left for the scene.
Recall that earlier in Madrid shot a man threatening with a knife passers-by. A homeless man with a knife threatened passers-by and attacked the arriving police officers, wounding one of them.
It was also reported that in Vienna a man stabbed four passers-by… The attacker has been detained. He is an Austrian citizen with mental health problems.
