A couple was attacked on Monday while on a train from Paris to Montereau-Fault-Yonne (Seine-et-Marne).

Around 10:30 p.m., they were attacked by another traveler who, according to La République de Seine-et-Marne, made incoherent remarks.

For some unknown reason, this man approached them before insulting them.

He then reportedly punched the couple and pulled out a knife to threaten them.

Two train passengers then intervened to help them.

They managed to disarm him and tackled him to the ground.

They then got him off at Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons station.

The police arrested him there.

One to two days of ITT were prescribed for the two victims.

The suspect was hospitalized at the request of a doctor.
