French Soldier on Anti-terror Patrol Stabbed

(NECN) – A French soldier on patrol was stabbed on Saturday.

Police sources say a man stabbed the soldier in the neck.

The soldier was patrolling a business area of western Paris at the time of the attack.

Sources say the soldier is expected to survive. He was patrolling as part of France's anti-terrorist surveillance plan.

Officials say the suspect is still on the run.

The stabbing follows the brutal killing of a British soldier in London earlier this week.

He was brutally stabbed in a suspected terrorist attack that has raised fears of potential copycat strikes.

Authorities are now investigating possible links between the two attacks.
