The terrorist track ruled out for the moment

According to information from Europe 1, nothing indicates at this stage a terrorist track.

The perpetrator of the assault is unknown to all files except for the processing of criminal records (TAJ).

His psychological profile is of more interest to the police.

His identity card was found on him and proves that he is a French individual.
