Nice: assault on two teachers at Clément-Roassal school

On November 2, 2026, a 36-year-old mother of a pupil assaulted the principal and a teacher at the Clément-Roassal school in Nice. An investigation for attempted murder was opened; the suspect, under an OQTF and known to territorial intelligence for radicalization, denied the facts before expressing regrets in police custody. The two teachers returned to the school the next day, while the Minister of Education was expected and Mayor Éric Ciotti announced increased security around schools. On November 4, the mother of a pupil was referred to the prosecutor's office, charged with attempted murder and placed in pre-trial detention.
