A Jewish teacher has been stabbed in Marseille by three people claiming to support Islamic State.

The man, who teaches at a Jewish school in the southern French city  was approached in the street by three people on scooters, one of them wearing an ISIS t-shirt.

"The three people insulted, threatened and then stabbed their victim in the arm and leg. They were interrupted by the arrival of a car and fled," Marseilles prosecutor Brice Robin said.

The attack took place at the Yavne cultural centre in the north of the city, which functions as both a school and synagogue.
