Marseille, FRANCE — A Jewish teacher was injured during a stabbing attack in Marseille on Wednesday.
The three suspects in the attack claim to be Islamic State supporters.
According to prosecutors, the men were shouting anti-Semitic remarks.
From the Daily Mail: Three people on two scooters, one of them wearing an Islamic State t-shirt, approached the teacher in the street, Marseilles prosecutor Brice Robin told Reuters.
Another showed a picture on his mobile telephone of Mohamed Merah, a homegrown Islamist militant who killed seven people in a series of attacks in southern France in 2012.
“The three people insulted, threatened and then stabbed their victim in the arm and leg. They were interrupted by the arrival of a car and fled,” Robin added.”
The teacher’s injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
It comes just days after ISIS terrorists carried out a series of attacks in Paris, killing at least 129 people.
