Police officers secure the area where an attacker stabbed a female police administrative worker, in Rambouillet, near Paris, France

The murder on Friday of a police employee in a Paris commuter town was an attack on the French Republic, said Prime Minister Jean Castex. ‘Once again, the Republic has been attacked. Once again, the French state has been threatened. We will not let this go by,’ Castex said on Saturday, speaking to reporters from the southern city of Toulouse. The police administrative worker was stabbed on Friday by a man who walked into a police station in the Paris commuter town of Rambouillet. President Emmanuel Macron said in response that France had again been the victim of a terrorist attack.
