French police said Wednesday that they arrested a 14-year-old pupil suspected of stabbing his music teacher in the classroom, injuring her in the face.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The wounds sustained by the 66-year-old teacher in Benfeld, a town near Strasbourg in the east of the country, were not life-threatening, authorities said.<\/p>\n

As police arrived at the scene to arrest the teenager, he stabbed himself several times, and was taken to the Strasbourg hospital by helicopter after suffering cardio-respiratory arrest.<\/p>\n

The suspect\u2019s motive remains unclear, the local gendarmerie said. Education Minister Elisabeth Borne said she was immediately heading to the scene.<\/p>\n

An education authority spokesman told AFP that the pupil\u2019s school results had been weak and that the school\u2019s educational team had been mobilised to help.<\/p>\n

The mayor of the town of 6,000 people, Jacky Wolfarth, called the incident \u201cisolated\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jean-Remi Girard, president of the SNALC teachers union, said \u201cwe know that pupils can sometimes go crazy\u201d, adding that lockdowns during the Covid crisis had \u201caffected our pupils\u2019 mental health\u201d.<\/p>\n

But there was no \u201cmiracle solution\u201d, he said, adding that \u201cWe\u2019re not going to equip our schools with metal detector gates.\u201d<\/p>\n

There has been a spate of violent incidents at French schools in recent months, prompting bag checks on entry in some establishments.<\/p>\n
