A 24-year-old woman who witnesses said was shouting 'Allahu akbar' (Arabic for 'God is greatest') attacked a client and checkout assistant with a boxcutter in a supermarket at La Seyne-sur-Mer, near the port of Toulon in southern France.
Two people were wounded in a town in southern France on Sunday when a woman shouting "Allahu akbar" (God is greatest) attacked two people in a supermarket with a boxcutter, prosecutors said, reports NDTV.
A man was struck in the chest during the late-morning attack in La Seyne-sur-Mer, outside the Mediterranean port of Toulon, but the wound is not life-threatening, prosecutor Bernard Marchal told AFP.
A woman working at a checkout counter was also wounded, though not as seriously. Both victims were taken to hospital.
"It appears to be an isolated case by a person with known psychological problems," Marchal said, "though that doesn't exclude the possibility that she may have been radicalised."
France has been on high alert following a string of terrorist attacks since early 2015, often by people who have become radicalised or claim to have acted in the name of the Islamic State group.
The 24-year-old assailant, who did not have a police record, was overpowered by others in the supermarket and has been taken into custody.
