Behind the stove, he performs like a chef. The artistic sensitivity of Thomas Chisholm, visible in his neat and original dressings, had enabled him to reach the 9th bonus of season 12 of Top chef. Since then, the cook had opened Chocho, his own restaurant in the tenth arrondissement of Paris.
Thomas Chisholm attacked with a knife in Paris
A few days after the death of Antoine Alléno, the son of the great chef Yannick Alléno, in a road accident, the family of Top Chef was once again affected after the stabbing of Thomas Chisholm.
According to information from our colleagues at Parisian, the former contestant of the cooking show was stabbed multiple times, on the night of Sunday to Monday, around 1:40 a.m. A violent argument would have broken out between Thomas Chisholm and his attacker. Seriously injured in the back of the thigh, the chef was transported to a hospital in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.
New twist in the case
Following the assault, a 19-year-old man, unknown to the police, was arrested around 2 a.m. According to information from our colleagues from Le Parisien, he held in his hands a white t-shirt with bloodstains but carried no weapon.
Or, according to the latest information from our colleaguesthe investigators would have acquired the certainty that this young clerk, who disputes the facts, would not be the author of the stab wound received on the back of the thigh by Thomas Chisholm. The police, on the other hand, would suspect him of being at the initiative of the brawl which opposed two groups at the time of the events, then of having designated a target for his troops. The young Franco-American chef would then have been stabbed by mistake, instead of this target. His vital prognosis is no longer engaged.
