Six People Injured In Stabbing Attack At Gare Du Nord Train Station In Paris
deadline.comSix people were injured in an unprovoked attack at the busy Gare Du Nord train station in Paris early Wednesday morning. French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin told reporters that the suspect attacked several people, including a French border police officer, at around 06:42 but was stopped moments later by two off-duty police officers.
Darmanin said the suspected attacker is currently in critical condition in hospital after being shot by officers. Darmanin thanked the police for their “brave and effective” reaction to the attack, the BBC reported. “Without the extremely rapid intervention, there would surely be deaths,” he said.
Police are yet to name the suspected attacker, who was not holding any identity documents when detained by officers. Darmanin has said the attacker’s weapon was not a knife but what looked like a homemade weapon.
No motive has been suggested by authorities. Darmanin added that criminal investigators, not anti-terror officers, are now dealing with the case.
