An unidentified man armed with a knife attacked a school in Arras, northern France, on October 13, 2023. A teacher was killed and at least two people were injured. A school security officer sustained multiple knife wounds during the attack, while another teacher was injured but is in a much less serious condition. Police confirmed that no students were harmed. The attacker, identified by French media as a 20-year-old man of Chechen origin, has been detained. Sources within the French interior ministry indicate he is a former student of the school. Witnesses reported the attacker shouted “Allahu Akbar.” Authorities confirmed the detained individual had previously been flagged as a potential security threat due to suspected links to radical Islamists. The case is being investigated by the French prosecutor’s anti-terrorist unit. There is currently no indication the attack is connected to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, according to the gendarmerie.
