A French teacher who falsely claimed he had been stabbed by a man shouting “Islamic State” has been sent to a psychiatric hospital, prosecutors say.
The teacher at a school near Paris made the claim on Monday morning before admitting he had made the story up.
He was taken into custody but has been moved to hospital after a psychiatric examination.
France remains on high alert following the terror attacks in Paris on 13 November that left 130 people dead.
The psychiatric examination found that his “judgement had been impaired and that he was not in a fit state to be in custody”, prosecutors said.
