Violence in front of a primary school. A man was taken into custody on Tuesday in Wasigny in the Ardennes, suspected of having stabbed a 25-year-old young woman, reports Figaro the Charleville-Mézières public prosecutor's office (Ardennes), confirming information from the Union .

The victim, severely affected, was transported to Reims University Hospital in absolute emergency. This Wednesday, the young woman is still in a “serious condition”declares the prosecution.
Settling of accounts
Quarrel between mothers? This is what the first elements of the investigation seem to suggest. The victim allegedly had a dispute with another woman, rue Jean-Jaurès, around 8:30 a.m., while the primary school was opening its doors. The tone allegedly rose and the partner of the other mother suddenly drew a knife to stab the victim. It would be an altercation against a backdrop of score-settling between travelers, reports a source close to the matter.
After stabbing the victim, the man took refuge in his home, says the gendarmerie, which specifies that the soldiers then arrested the suspect on the spot. The accused would also have already been convicted in the past, reports the prosecution, without giving further details.
Following these events, the children at the school were confined until 11 a.m. A psychological unit has been set up, adds Magali Josse.
