The attacker told police he wanted to kill President Macron on election day but eventually decided to target a church instead.
NICE, France (LifeSiteNews) — A French priest and a nun were both stabbed multiple times in a knife attack in Nice on Sunday.
The incident took place shortly before the 10 a.m. Sunday Mass at the church of Saint Pierre d’Arène, in the city of Nice in Southern France.
A 31-year-old French national from the nearby town of Fréjus, whom French media have only identified as “Kevin,” entered the church and attacked Father Krzysztof Rudzinski, a Polish priest who has served as an associate priest at the parish for over ten years. Rudzinski was stabbed over twenty times and sustained injuries to his leg and thorax.
The attacker also stabbed Sister Marie-Claude, who sustained injuries to her forearm as she tried to grab the knife. Both victims were attended by paramedics as police apprehended the suspect. They were then taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Eric Ciotti, a local French politician representing the first constituency of Alpes-Maritimes in the National Assembly, praised the “extraordinary courage” of Sister Marie Claude in her attempt to disarm the attacker.
According to the French press, a third person also attempted to snatch the knife away from the attacker and sustained no injury.
