Knife Attack Wounds Three People In Paris

A knife attack early on Saturday in the Gare de Lyon rail station in Paris left three people wounded, police said. They said they had arrested the suspected attacker. Two of the victims suffered light wounds while the third was more seriously hurt but was not in a life-threatening situation, police added.

"The suspect did not cry out (any religious slogans) during his attack," a police source said. "He presented the police an Italian driving licence". The area between halls one and three was temporarily inaccessible, rail operator SNCF said on X, formerly Twitter.

The suspected assailant's motive was not immediately clear. France has suffered a series of Islamist militant attacks over the past decade, but also occasional assaults by people with mental disorders.
