Overview

  • Police say the 66-year-old teacher sustained serious facial wounds that are not life-threatening after the attack at Robert-Schuman-Mittelschule in Benfeld on Wednesday morning.
  • Officers detained the suspect on a road between Benfeld and Huttenheim after he injured his neck with the knife during the arrest and was airlifted to Strasbourg University Hospital.
  • Local media reported the boy briefly went into cardiac arrest before being resuscitated by responders, a detail officials have not confirmed.
  • Investigators have not identified a motive, the suspect’s identity has not been released, and the public prosecutor’s office is leading the case with police.
  • The school was cleared after the incident, the affected class was initially confined then moved to the foyer, and psychological support was deployed, while the education minister planned a visit to the region later in the day.
