The attack in the south of France comes as worries over violent crime and terrorism feature among voters' main concerns in the run-up to the 2022 French presidential election.
Anti-terror prosecutors are leading probe into murder of 49-year-old unarmed female officer who was stabbed in the neck as she returned from her lunch break; her attacker was then shot dead.
Police in a Paris suburb shot a man dead after he went on a rampage with a knife, killing one person and injuring two others. French officials gave no motive for his attack but believe he would have claimed more lives.
The victim, 62, who survived the attack, was assaulted on Friday morning by a man reportedly known for psychiatric problems who shouted 'Allahu Akbar'.
