A French soldier patrolling a business neighborhood west of Paris was stabbed in the neck on Saturday by a man who quickly fled the scene and is being sought by police, President Francois Hollande said.

The soldier was patrolling in uniform with two other men as part of France's Vigipirate anti-terrorist surveillance plan when he was approached from behind around 1800 p.m. and stabbed in the neck with a knife or a box-cutter.

Peyvel said the man was able to flee into a crowded shopping area in the La Defense business neighborhood before the two other soldiers, who were walking in front of him, were able to react.

French daily Le Parisien cited a police source as saying the suspected attacker was a bearded man of North African origin about 30 years old, and was wearing an Arab-style garment under his jacket.

However, Peyvel declined to confirm or deny that description and said further details about the attacker's identity would be forthcoming.

I went into a public-’ouse to get a pint o’ beer,
The publican ‘e up an’ sez, “We serve no red-coats here.”
The girls wot wearin burkhas they laughed an’ giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an’ to myself sez I:
O it’s Kuffar this, and Kuffar that, and “Kuffar, go away”;
But it once was Mister Atkins”, when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it once was Mister Atkins, when the band begins to play.

I looked out for a theatre as sober as could be,
They built a halal reading room room, but ‘adn’t none for me;
They burned to ground the gallery and all the music-’alls,
And then they comes to fightin’, Lord! “Behead the infidels!”
For it’s Kuffar this, and Kuffar that and “Kuffar, wait outside”;
But it once was “Special train for Atkins” when the trooper’s on the tide,
The troopship’s on the tide, my boys, the troopship’s on the tide,
But it once was “Special train for Atkins” when the trooper’s on the tide.

Yes, makin’ mock o’ uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an’ they’re starvation cheap;
An’ stabbing British soldiers when they’re goin’ home from barrack
Is five times better religion than then turn the other cheek.
Now it’s Kuffar this, and Kuffar that, and “Kuffar, Come to Allah?”
It once was “Thin red line of ‘eroes” when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
It once was “Thin red line of ‘eroes” when the drums begin to roll.

We once were thin red ‘eroes, an we once were blackguards too,
just single men in barricks, most Englishmen like you;
An’ if sometimes our country fights and kills to save our random policy,
Dont blame us when your Jihad fails, your mates did start this fallacy;
Now it’s Kuffar this, and Kuffar that, and “Kuffar, turn the cheek”,
But it’s “Please to walk in front, sir”, when there’s EDL in sight,
The EDL’s in sight, my boys, the EDL’s in sight,
O it’s “Please to walk in front, sir”, when the EDL’s in sight.

You talk o’ better food for yous, an’ schools, an’ jobs, an’ all:
Our fathers built this land and welcomed yours from their old hell.
Don’t falsely claim you’re here to live and try to force us down
The hell hole path your former land embraced then threw you out..
For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Behead him now, Kuffar!”
But it’s our religion is all about peace, say it now kuffar!
So Say it now, Kuffar, an’ Kuffar say it if you please;
An’ Tommy ain’t a bloomin’ fool — you bet that Tommy sees!

Remember what Michael Savage, and I am no fan of him has said, the BIG difference is this between the USA and Britain, GUNS, GUNS, GUNS, GUNS.

Ft Hood, London, Paris. No pattern there. Nothing to see. Bearded savages not involved. Police are baffled. Don’t jump to conclusions. Don’t condemn a whole group. Go back to watching the view and two and 1/2 a$$hole$.

BIG difference, unless the 2nd Amendment is neutered illegally by 0traitor&Co, somehow. They’re working on it.

Yes, they're armed. The French also use their national military as police in high risk/highly sensitive places like tourist attractions, train stations, airports, and seaports.

They also have a national police force (Gendarmerie nationale) that is sort of a border patrol. You see them at subway stations, train stations, airports, highways, etc.

At the national landmark sites like the Eiffel Tower or the Arch De Triomph, those are usually more elite units like paratroopers or sometimes even the Foreign Legion if there have been verifiable public threats.

There's some pictures here:

Probably. When I was in Paris two years ago I saw two gendarmes patrolling an area where a lot of African immigrants scam tourists.

They looked like military personnel, with berets, fatigues and FAMAS rifles at their sides. Tough looking dudes.

National Police carry pistols too, that’s one thing they have over the Brits.

That’s a story not being taught in America’s government schools. Find a good source and email the story to your list. There was a very good post about it here on FR not too long back.

True, but he was walking behind his buddies and probably not paying attention. I wonder if their guns are even loaded.

Remember when Bush put all the Nat. Guardsmen in airports in response to 9/11? They had unloaded guns.

Now the TSA are not only unarmed, but lack brains as well.

I’m glad you posted that, I actually just commented something similar myself.

Turns out the people I saw were actually soldiers based on the photos you posted, I thought they were gendarmes but their uniforms weren’t blue.

...police prefect for the Hauts-de-Seine area west of Paris, said the soldier had lost a considerable amount of blood but would survive, and was being treated in a nearby military hospital.

Thank God the soldier will survive.

It must be those inflammatory uniforms these soldiers are wearing - that's causing all of this. /s

They aren’t armed. They’re carrying unloaded rifles. I only saw a single loaded magazine in the entire group of photos and no evidence it contains any bullets.

Sounds like the French version of Security Theater. I’d rather the French let their people be armed.

Didn’t this happen at a recruiter in the US already?

Better issue an order directing all cops NOT to wear uniforms starting NOW.

It's certainly an option. But it gets pretty cold in most places, at night and in winter.

“Who is bring in these Third world invaders? Who really rules France because it doesn’t seem like its the native French people?”

The French (and the Swedes, and the Brits, and the Americans) have only themselves to blame; these savages are imported because the native populations won’t reproduce themselves. That leaves less of them to vote for their own interests, and they quickly recede into irrelevance (as is happening here - note Obama’s lack of mention of the predominantly white middle class).
