Police in France are searching for a man who stabbed a French soldier in the neck while he was on patrol near Paris. The soldier survived Saturday’s attack, which a police spokesperson said bore similarities to the one in London three days earlier.

Christophe Crepin: “You don’t have to be a great observer to be able to see the similarities. We are in a place, a soldier, an individual who stabbed him. You don’t have to be a great observer to see that people are taking inspiration from acts committed abroad and reproducing them here.”
