According to AFP and other foreign media, the stabbing suspect wielded a knife outside Notre-Dame Cathedral in Nice on the morning of the 29th (local time), and one of the victims was beheaded. The suspect was shot by police and taken to the hospital.

Christian Estrosi, mayor of Nice, told reporters that the suspect arrested by the police shouted in Arabic, "God is greatest." The French anti-terrorism prosecutor's office is reportedly investigating the incident for possible links to terrorism.

This stabbing attack occurred about two weeks after a middle school teacher who was teaching freedom of expression was beheaded by an 18-year-old youth radicalized by Islamic extremism on the 16th.
