News agencies and French news outlets are reporting that a teacher at a Jewish school in Marseille was stabbed on the street on Wednesday by three people who appeared to profess support for the Islamic State militant group.

Citing a prosecutor in Marseille, Brice Robin, Reuters reported that the three people were riding on two scooters and that one of them was wearing an Islamic State T-shirt. They approached the teacher at about 8 p.m., shouted anti-Semitic insults at him and stabbed him in the arm and the leg, the agency quoted Mr. Robin as saying.

Agence France-Presse quoted a police prefect, Laurent Nunez, as saying the teacher’s injuries were not life-threatening. The police were combing the area in search of the attackers, who fled the scene, the news agency said.

Marseille was the scene of another anti-Semitic stabbing in October, in which an assailant injured a rabbi and two worshipers outside a synagogue. The assailant was arrested shortly afterward.
