Attack at Lyon station: “It was the withdrawal of the State which caused a surge of violence”, according to Alain Bauer. Two months after the knife attack on the Bir-Hakeim Bridge in Paris, the capital was again hit by a stabbing attack.

A 32-year-old Malian injured three people, one seriously, with a knife at Lyon Station. The assailant was placed in the psychiatric infirmary of the police headquarters to be seen by doctors.
