Reports from France say a suspected attacker who stabbed and injured six people at Paris’s Gare du Nord rail station on Wednesday has been identified as a Libyan national aged in his 20s who was due to be deported.
Police are still investigating the motive but are not believed to be treating it as a terror related.
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has praised the courage of two off-duty police officers who intervened to halt the attack.
The suspect was shot three times and taken to hospital with serious injuries.
