The attacker, who was reportedly wearing dark clothing and had his face partially masked, stabbed her twice and then fled.

She was taken to hospital with stab wounds to her abdomen, but her injuries are reportedly not life-threatening.

Her door was reportedly decorated with mezuzah, a parchment with Hebrew inscriptions usually found at the entrances of Jewish households.

According to local media, the knife attack occurred in an apartment block in the Montluc district Le Progrès reported.

The attacker remains at large and no one has been arrested.

The Lyon prosecutor’s office said it considered the incident an “attempted murder.”

They added that the case was “complicated” by the fact that the attack “could have been motivated by an anti-Semitic motive.”
