A French police officer was stabbed on Tuesday at a police station in the centre of the city of Toulouse by a lone attacker as the country and its police force remain on high alert for terrorist attacks. According to the La Depeche du Midi newspaper, the 31-year attacker got into the station by telling officers he wanted to file a complaint. He then tried to grab the male officer's gun but after being held back he pulled out a knife and stabbed the officer in the throat, reports say. La Depeche du Midi reported that the attacker showed signs of having mental health problems.
