He is known for various offences, was twice sentenced to a five-year and three-year ban from living in France, and one day even tried to force his way into the reception centre in order to obtain a passport for Chad, where he claims to be from. However, the country does not officially recognise him as one of its nationals. […] He approached another homeless man that day who was talking to a friend on a bench, pulled a paving stone out of his pocket, threw it in his direction and then threw a second one.
When his victim asked him for an explanation, he pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the chest, shouting “Allah akbar”. The victim fled into the post office to sound the alarm, went back to get his dog and again encountered the accused, who tried to attack him again. The animal, a boxer mongrel, tried to defend its owner and was also stabbed three times in the head and side. The injured man was treated and taken to hospital. The dog was taken to an animal hospital.
