Paris, France:
French police shot useless a person who lunged at them early on Monday with a long-blade knife at Paris’s busy Gare du Nord prepare station, police sources stated.
The person attacked two law enforcement officials on patrol on the station, the terminus for trains from London, with a 30-centimetre (12-inch) knife with ACAB (All Cops Are Bastards) written on the blade, stated a police supply, who requested not be named.
“The police used their firearms, thus eliminating all hazard, each for themselves and for travellers,” Inside Minister Gerald Darmanin wrote in a tweet.
The assault occurred round 7:00 am (0600 GMT), he stated.
A France Tv journalist who was on the prepare station on the time posted a video of the incident on social media, during which two gunshots might be heard.
“It was a person recognized to the police as somebody who wandered round within the station,” Transport Minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari informed RMC TV.
“He seems to have attacked the police with a knife, forcing them to make use of their weapon.”
