A shocking incident occurred at Robert Schuman High School in Benfeld, Alsace, when a 14-year-old student attacked his 66-year-old teacher with a knife.
The attack took place on Wednesday morning around 8:00 AM, just a few kilometers from the German border near Strasbourg. The student stabbed the teacher in the face, leaving her seriously injured, though her life is not in danger.
After the assault, the student fled the school but was later captured by police on a road between Benfeld and Huttenheim. Reports indicate that he was injured in the neck during the arrest and was airlifted to a hospital for treatment.
Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the motive behind the violent act. A psychological emergency team has been deployed to support students, teachers, and families affected by the incident.
The French Minister of Education has announced plans to visit the region to assess the situation and oversee measures to ensure safety. Details about the student’s identity have not been released, but sources indicate he is a minor living in a foster home.
