The suspect, a 33-year-old Algerian, was arrested after setting fire to cars in a synagogue's car park, prompting police intervention that led to his injury.
Interior Minister Gerard Darmanin expressed concern for the Jewish community, emphasizing that the incident could have resulted in casualties if worshippers had been present.
The incident reflects a troubling rise in anti-Semitic attacks in France, as evidenced by the Interior Minister's report of nearly 900 incidents counted earlier this year.
