A Jewish teacher has been stabbed in Marseille, France by three people who claimed to be supporters of ISIS.

Sky News reports that three people on two scooters approached the teacher in the street before showing him a picture on a cell phone of Mohamed Merah, the jihadist who killed seven people in a series of attacks in southern France in 2012 - among them, three children at a Jewish school.

At that point, a prosecutor said,

"The three people insulted, threatened and then stabbed their victim in the arm and leg. They were interrupted by the arrival of a car and fled."

One of the attackers was wearing an Islamic State t-shirt, he added.

The victim suffered three knife wounds and was taken to the hospital, but the wounds apparently are not life-threatening.

Sky News also points out that a rabbi and two Jewish worshippers were stabbed last month in a knife attack in Marseille.
