French authorities are concerned about increase in Islamophobic attacks where 128 incidents were registered in two weeks after January attacks in Paris
A heavily pregnant woman has been hospitalised in France after being assaulted by two men in what her husband claims was an 'Islamophobic act'.
One of the attackers hit 29-year-old Kedidja, who was wearing a headscarf, several times and threw her to the ground as she dropped her two children off at school in Toulouse, La Depeche reports.
Her husband Munir says they grabbed her hair and pulled at her veil while yelling 'none of that here' at the nine-months-pregnant woman who is due to give birth in mid-April.
She is now recovering and her unborn baby is believed to be unharmed, but her husband revealed that she has not stopped crying since the attack on Tuesday morning.
He added: 'My wife had just put our two daughters to school, one in kindergarten and one in elementary school.
'Upon leaving, she met two young men. One of them grabbed her hair, pulled on her veil and insulted her.
'After the final few blows and a some more insults - including death threats - the two boys ran away, leaving her extremely shocked.'
The assailant's friend reportedly stopped the attack from continuing before the pair shouted racist abuse and threatened to kill her.
33-year-old Munir described himself and his wife as 'French and Muslim' said the men took offence to the headscarf even though she was dressed conventionally in tracksuit bottoms and a jacket.
Their local MP Christophe Borgel was outraged after hearing about the attack and claims that it was 'without a doubt' racially motivated.
