Two Algerians, aged 37 and 26, were stabbed with a knife in Bordeaux. One died, the other was rushed to hospital.
The two victims, who crossed paths with the man who attacked them, come from the same village in Algeria. The attacker was shot dead by the police after trying to flee the scene. According to the first elements of the investigation, the attacker would be a man of Afghan origin, aged 25, registered in Europe as an asylum seeker, Frédérique Porterie, the public prosecutor, detailed in a press conference on Thursday. The other victim, Saleh Kharat, survived his injuries, and his life is no longer in danger at this time, said the prosecutor. The assailant, "whom he did not know", had approached them and reproached them, “in rough French”, to drink while it was Eid, a holiday which marks the end of Ramadan for practicing Muslims, the two victims said. The man punched them before walking away.
