A knife attack took place during a birthday celebration at a private home in Puisserguier on September 30. According to the Béziers prosecutor's office, multiple people were present at the residence, and some of the attendees consumed alcohol and drugs. The incident began with a disagreement between one of the guests and the homeowner. A man tried to intervene and calm the situation, but the conflict then escalated between him and another guest, who touched him several times on the face. The man, who was under the influence of alcohol, then experienced a "sudden anger" and grabbed a kitchen knife. He struck the victim in the back as she was walking toward the exit of the residence. The attack led to an immediate response from local authorities, who arrived at the scene shortly after the incident occurred. The victim was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, though the extent of her injuries has not been disclosed publicly. The attacker was reportedly detained at the scene and is currently under investigation by local police. The prosecutor's office is looking into the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the role of alcohol and drugs in the altercation. This incident has raised concerns about the safety of private gatherings and the potential risks associated with substance use at social events. Authorities are expected to release more details about the case in the coming days as the investigation continues.
