ANKARA (AA) – A man stabbed and injured three people on Saturday at a train station in Paris, France's interior minister said.
Gerald Darmanin said on X that the incident took place at the Gare de Lyon station, and one of the three victims was gravely injured.
Police arrested the suspect who was a 32-year-old Malian man, the daily Le Figaro reported.
"Nothing suggests for now, right now, that the attack could be an act of terrorism," Paris police chief Laurent Nunez told reporters at the station, according to broadcaster BFMTV.
Nunez added that the suspect entered the country from Italy where he had a legal residency permit since 2016.
The suspect was clearly suffering from psychiatric disorders, which he spontaneously declared to the investigators, and was carrying prescribed medicine, Nunez further said.
Security forces were deployed at the station and railway traffic was not disrupted.
Paris prosecutor's office has launched an investigation.
