Police arrest man who was reportedly tackled by passengers after leaving three victims with non-life-threatening injuries

A man has been arrested after three people were stabbed at a busy railway station in Paris.

Reports suggested the alleged attacker was first tackled by passengers and a security agent at the Gare de Lyon just before 8am on Saturday, before officers arrived at the scene. Police said early indications suggested the attack was not terrorism-related.

The three victims, who were in the station’s lower level hall number three, sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Two were taken to hospital, where one was said to have a serious wound.
French media reported that the arrested man, who was allegedly carrying a knife and a hammer, was originally from Mali and had shown police an Italian driving licence during his arrest.
