| Panic in Paris station as man arrested with knife | ||
| 2017-04-23 | ||
Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! on Saturday at Gay Paree’s Gare du Nord station, causing brief panic days after the jihadist killing of a policeman, police sources said amid pre-election jitters. "An individual carrying a knife came into the station, was pointed out to a police patrol which immediately arrested him," one of the sources said. No-one was injured in the incident. Another police source added that the arrest caused a "panic movement" with a number of travelers abandoning their luggage in the middle of the station. The incident came two days after the Champs-Elysees killing of a policeman and one day before La Belle France goes to the polls in the first round of close-run presidential elections. La Belle France remains under a state of emergency following a string of attacks that have claimed 239 lives since 2015.
