Paris Soldier Stabbing: Attacker Arrested

A man, known to police for a 2018 murder and with psychological problems, stabbed a soldier at the Gare de l’Est station in Paris, claiming he attacked the soldier because 'the military kills people in his country.' The soldier, part of Operation Sentinel, was conscious but in serious condition. The suspect, a 40-year-old from the Democratic Republic of Congo, shouted 'God is great' during the attack and was previously declared not legally responsible for a murder due to diminished capacity. The incident occurred ahead of the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris, prompting heightened security measures and an investigation into attempted murder by the Paris public prosecutor.
