The drunk aggressor stabbed her in the neck, back, and chest in front of her husband and two children.
Rabat – A drunk man stabbed a Muslim woman wearing on Wednesday, September 11 in Sury le Comtal in central France.
The aggressor, who was drunk, stabbed the 24-year old woman in front of her children and husband, French news outlet Le Point reported.
The victim, whose husband took her to the hospital, survived the aggression after she received intensive medical care. The victim’s health status is no longer a source of concern, according to reports.
The victim suffered stabs in the neck, back, and chest.
Security services managed to arrest the suspect after using an electric impulse gun fire.
“The individual was still threatening with his knife when the gendarmes arrived,” said the public prosecutor in Saint Etienne, David Charmatz on Thursday.
The aggressor is said to have suffered from regular depression episodes.
Commenting on the incident, director of the Institute of International and Strategic Relations, Pascal Boniface strongly criticized the media for not showing enough sympathy with the victim.
L’agression de la mère de famille voilée poignardée devant ses enfants ne suscite pas une mobilisation solidaire très forte des médias et responsables politiques . Comme si cela n’était pas si grave de poignarder une femme parce que visiblement musulmane

He suggested the woman’s religious identity is the primary reason why her case did not provoke waves of indignation or public pronouncements of solidarity.
“The aggression of the veiled mother stabbed in front of her children does not provoke a strong solidarity mobilization of the media and political leaders. As if it was not so bad to stab a woman because [ She is ] obviously Muslim,” Boniface wrote on Twitter.
He added in another twee, “So no reaction on the aggression but a reaction to criticize its denunciation.”
Boniface’s comments did not sit well with some quarters of the French public opinion, however. One woman attacked him on Twitter for “trading” in alarmist, false solidarity narratives for his own career. “Always busy catering for your small clientele,” the woman said, appearing to point out Boniface’s supposed Muslim-supporting left-leaning audience.
Donc aucune réaction sur l agression mais une réaction pour critiquer sa dénonciation .Quand au petit commerce souffrez madame que j ai payé -chèrement -pour mes idées alors que vous vivez des votres et de votre fond de commerce électoral https://t.co/C4JEk1h9Ay
