A man on Thursday has been arrested in Saudi Arabia for allegedly attacking a guard “with sharp tool” at the Jeddah’s French consulate.
According to the state media’s reports, a Saudi citizen wounded a guard at the French consulate with a knife but did not give any details about the victim’s nationality.
On the other hand, the embassy had said that the guard “was taken to hospital and his life is not in danger”.
They added,
“The assailant was apprehended by Saudi security forces immediately after the attack.”
The French consulate also urged the citizens of the Saudi Kingdom to exercise “extreme vigilance”.
It is pertinent to mention here that the incident at the French consulate in Jeddah happened almost after another stabbing attack in the French city Nice.
