French police were questioning a 14-year-old student who allegedly stabbed to death a 31-year-old school assistant on Tuesday as pupils' bags were being checked outside the gates of a school in Nogent in northeastern France.

The teenager was being held at the gendarmerie of Nogent while being questioned, the Haute-Marne Prefecture said.

"While watching over our children in Nogent, an educational assistant lost her life, the victim of a senseless wave of violence," President Emmanuel Macron wrote on X.

"The nation is in mourning and the government is mobilised to reduce crime," he added.

The Chaumont public prosecutor Denis Devallois said the alleged suspect had stabbed the school assistant several times with a knife.

"The threat of bladed weapons among our children has become critical.. It is up to us to make this widespread scourge a public enemy," Prime Minister Francois Bayrou wrote on X.
