Martinique, stabbed in the line of duty

The woman’s vital signs remained uncertain Tuesday evening, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

An employee of the Integrated Reception and Orientation Service (SIAO) was violently stabbed by two women she was hosting while on duty.

The SIAO is specifically responsible for supporting the social reintegration of homeless people in terms of housing.

For reasons that remain unclear, two women who were living in the vehicle and receiving temporary accommodation from SIAO allegedly threatened the employee and then stabbed her several times.

The victim was cared for by emergency services while the two women fled the scene.

A psychological team has been set up to support the agency’s eight staff members.
