#1 The Times of Israel:

Six people were lightly wounded on Wednesday by a man wielding a knife at the busy Gare du Nord station in Paris, police and prosecutors said.

The man was arrested by police at the station — a busy commuter hub that also serves as a departure point for trains to northern France, London and northern Europe — after they opened fire and wounded him, said a police source, who asked not to be named.

Police were treating the stabbings as a criminal act, not a terrorist attack, a source close to the case said.

The attacker sustained a life-threatening chest injury as police fired several rounds, the source said.

An off-duty police officer was the first to act against the attacker, Le Parisien daily said.

I vote we leave this on Page 1 until we know more about the knifeman. Just because the authorities would prefer not to call this a jihad attack does not mean it is not a jihad attack,

#2 Yahoo:

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.
