France stabbing: One dead and police officers injured in Mulhouse
After expressing his condolences to the family of the victim, Macron said: “I want to reiterate the determination of the government, and mine, to continue the work to eradicate terrorism on our soil.”
The incident took place at a demonstration in support of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the police officers were on patrol.
“Horror has seized our city,” Mulhouse mayor Michele Lutz said on Facebook.
French Prime Minister François Bayrou posted on X that “fanaticism has struck again and we are in mourning”.
“My thoughts naturally go to the victims and their families, with the firm hope that the injured will recover,” he said.
Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau is expected to visit the scene on Saturday evening.
