A 16-year-old teenager was stabbed outside an Aldi supermarket in Empalot, Toulouse, after being pursued by masked individuals. The incident occurred while local residents were shopping in the store. The teenager and a friend were chased by a group of four men, with three of them wearing balaclavas and armed with knives. The boy sustained two stab wounds, one in the hip and another in the shoulder blade.
Upon the arrival of law enforcement, the attackers had already fled the scene. The victim received immediate medical attention from firefighters and paramedics before being transported to Rangueil Hospital for further treatment.
This incident follows a similar event less than three months ago when a man sought refuge inside the same Aldi supermarket after being assaulted outside on December 28, 2025.
