(Breitbart) A man on the French S-file terrorist watchlist was arrested over the weekend in Marseille after brandishing a large knife and threatening locals and passers-by in the street.
The 27-year-old man, identified as Ali B., who was dressed in the traditional male Islamic garb known as the djellaba, was arrested on Saturday evening at around 8 pm in the 14th district of Marseille after he had threatened several people with a 12-inch-long kitchen knife.
Witnesses stated that the man had been praying in public when the police arrived on the scene and soon began to threaten the police as well, brandishing his knife. Officers approached the man and used an electric stun gun to subdue him, broadcaster BFMTV reports.
