PARIS (Agencies): Police in the French capital have killed a man who allegedly attacked them with a knife at Paris’s Gare du Nord station. The incident took place at about 7am (06:00 GMT) on Monday at the terminus for trains from London.
“The person who attacked them died on the spot,” Transport Minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari told RMC radio, adding that two police officers received minor injuries. “The police used their firearms, thus eliminating all danger, both for themselves and for travellers,” Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin wrote in a tweet.
A France Television journalist at the railway station at the time posted a video of the incident on social media, in which two gunshots can be heard. “It was an individual known to the police as someone who wandered around in the station,” Djebbari added.
