Woman in Charlie Hebdo T-shirt attacked with knife in London | Abroad

Images shared on social media show a man in black clothes approaching the woman. Moments later, the woman, apparently bloodied, is helped into a police car by officers. The images clearly show that she is wearing a T-shirt with an image of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. The editorial of the magazine was the victim of an attack by Islamic extremists in Paris in 2015 for publishing a cartoon about the prophet Mohammed. Ten people were killed in that terrorist attack.

Police said in a statement that the woman only suffered a minor cut to her head and was treated in an ambulance on the way to hospital. Despite the fact that her injuries were not life-threatening, police called the stabbing “deeply disturbing.” The used knife was recovered near the site of the attack. No one has been arrested yet.

Police have asked witnesses to the stabbing, some of whom filmed the attack with their phones, to share the footage with the police. She does not yet want to make any announcements about the circumstances of the incident and does not ask people to speculate about the motive yet. It is not yet clear whether the T-shirt was the reason for the stabbing.
