Chinanews.com, Paris, January 12 (Xinhua) The identity of the suspect in the Paris Gare du Nord attack was disclosed by the police on the evening of the 11th local time.
The suspect is still being treated in hospital.
Six people were injured in an attack at the Gare du Nord station at around 6:45 a.m. local time on the 11th.
The suspect was subdued by the police.
Police fired three shots at the suspect as they subdued him, and he was seriously injured and taken to hospital where he is still being treated.
French Interior Minister Dalmanin said the suspect's life was "hanging by a thread".
According to the preliminary findings released by the police on the evening of the 11th, the suspect is from Libya, about 20 years old, and came to France three years ago.
He has received an official deportation notice in the summer of 2022.
However, the notice was not implemented, and the French media believed that this was due to the unstable situation in Libya, which made it difficult to implement the repatriation order.
At the same time, the suspect also has a criminal record, mainly for crimes such as destroying public property.
The motive of the suspect's attack is still unclear and the police are still investigating further.
In addition, the police later clarified that the murder weapon used by the suspect was not a knife, but did not disclose more details.
