A man, suspected of having stabbed several people on Saturday February 3, at Gare de Lyon in Paris, was arrested, the police headquarters told AFP, without being able to specify at this stage the motivations of the attacker.
According to a provisional report from the police headquarters, the attack, which took place around 8:00 a.m., left one seriously injured, with no life-threatening injuries, and two minor injuries.
“The suspect did not shout during his action,” added a police source. “He presented the police with an Italian driving license,” the same source said.
“There is an intervention by the police and emergency services currently in Hall 1 and 3 which makes them temporarily inaccessible”, indicated the SNCF on X.
“Traffic is slowed down between Paris Gare de Lyon and Montargis and between Paris Gare de Lyon and Montereau,” she also announced, referring to “an act of malicious intent”.
