The vital prognosis of the woman, whose age has not been specified, is "very committed", added a source close to the investigation.

The facts took place at the beginning of the afternoon in Maisons-Alfort, in the Val-de-Marne.

The man, born in 1981, was arrested and placed in police custody at the premises of the Val-de-Marne judicial police, to whom the investigation was entrusted.
