One person suffered life-threatening injuries to the abdomen while two others were lightly wounded, according to Laurent Nunez, police prefect. A fourth person went into shock after witnessing the assaults. The suspect was overpowered by passersby before railway police arrived on the scene, the police source said. The perpetrator volunteered to police that he suffered from “psychiatric problems” and was carrying medicine, Nunez said.
