The investigation is progressing.

Four days after the violent attack on a student with a knife on Saturday morning in downtown Nantes, a 34-year-old man was taken into custody for attempted murder on Wednesday, said the public prosecutor of Nantes Renaud Gaudeul.

The suspect, born in Colombia, was found after the valuable report of a local veterinarian, who had treated a man for a wound in the hand a few moments after the events.

The individual, who then took the train to Rennes, was checked on his arrival by the border police as part of another case.

Being the subject of an arrest warrant issued at the end of January 2022, for non-compliance with a probationary stay, he had therefore in fact been imprisoned since this weekend in Brittany.

"Genetic analyzes required as a matter of extreme priority" have been carried out, indicates the prosecutor.
