A Saudi man has been arrested in Jeddah after attacking and injuring a guard with a "sharp tool" at the French consulate on Thursday.
The French Embassy said the consulate was subject to an "attack by knife which targeted a guard", adding the guard was taken to hospital and his life was not in danger.
"The French embassy strongly condemns this attack against a diplomatic outpost which nothing could justify," an embassy statement said.
