French anti-terrorism investigators are hunting for the attacker who stabbed a soldier outside Paris, as authorities continued to search for links with the killing of British serviceman Lee Rigby.
Private First Class Cedric Cordier, 23, was in uniform when he was stabbed in the throat on Saturday in the busy La Defense business area near the French capital.
He remains in hospital but his injuries are not life-threatening, the Interior Ministry said. His attacker is still on the run.
Scotland Yard refused to comment on whether it was looking into any links between the incident in France and the murder of Drummer Rigby.
However, French Interior Minister Manuel Valls has said there could be comparisons between the two attacks.
