Mayor Delanoe was rushed by ambulance to a Paris hospital after an attacker lunged at him with a knife and struck him once in the abdomen, officials said. Delanoe under went surgery and was transferred to a recovery room, according to a statement issued by Pitie-Salpetriere hospital in Paris. A hospital spokesman said Delanoe would remained hospitalised on Sunday but declined to give details about the surgery other than to say that an unspecified number of abdominal lesions were "successfully treated". Police said Delanoe sustained one stab wound. France Info radio reported that a 39-year-old man with a criminal record was taken into custody after the attack and was being questioned by police. The motive was not immediately known. The attack was the second in less than three months against a prominent French politician. On July 14, a man allegedly tried to shoot President Jacques Chirac as he was reviewing troops at the annual Bastille Day military parade in Paris. In a statement released by the presidential palace hours after the stabbing, Chirac expressed outrage at the attack and wished Delanoe a rapid recovery. Firefighters and ambulances rushed to the scene minutes after Delanoe was attacked and raced him to the hospital, which was placed under tight security. Four officers stationed at the main entrance checked identification before allowing workers to enter the building and vehicles were stopped at the gate. Delanoe, 52, was attending a crowded, all-night party at city hall as part of Paris' first-ever "Sleepless Night" festival. Dozens of museums and tourist attractions, including the Eiffel Tower, were open all night, and concerts and artist exhibits were being held around the French capital. About two thousand people had gathered at the opulent City Hall building for a concert of electronic lounge music and other festivities. Delanoe was circulating freely among the crowd when he was stabbed in the main ballroom where two live bands were playing.
