A stabbing incident in the eastern French city of Mulhouse resulted in one fatality and left at least two individuals seriously injured on Saturday afternoon. The attack occurred at a local market in this town near the German border.

Authorities arrested a 37-year-old man at the scene. According to local media reports, the suspect allegedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the incident. The individual is reportedly listed on a terror-prevention watchlist. This watchlist, known as FSPRT, compiles information from various authorities to monitor individuals and prevent potential radicalization linked to terrorism.

The Mulhouse prosecutor’s office provided these details, highlighting that the investigation is ongoing. Local authorities have yet to release the identities of the victims or further information regarding their conditions.

The stabbing has raised concerns within the community, which is known for its peaceful atmosphere. Security measures in the region are under review following the attack.

While details remain limited, French authorities are treating the case with urgency given the suspect’s inclusion on the FSPRT list. The country has been on heightened alert regarding potential terrorist activities, which has prompted a swift response from law enforcement and security agencies.

This incident is the latest in a series of violent attacks by Muslims occurring in public spaces in France over recent years.
