Did Notre-Dame de Paris escape an attack? The authorities did not take the risk and arrested a former pilot on Thursday October 7 who is said to have uttered threats, reports Le Parisien. The man allegedly told a friend that he planned to crash into the cathedral. The friend alerted the border police (PAF) in Hendaye (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) and the suspect was eventually arrested in Paris.
The initial findings point to a mentally unstable person who had no concrete plans in mind. We have not discovered any plans for attacks,” a police source said. We have not found anything,” a police source told Le Parisien. But caution was the reason for the deployment. The former pilot, who had flown for Air Liberté, Air Tahiti in France as well as Royal Fly, reportedly told his friend that he planned to crash into the Notre-Dame church using a Cessna, a small tourist plane that he still flew occasionally.
The suspect, described as “sick” and having alcohol and money problems, was located at the Saint-Sulpice church on Thursday October 7, thanks to the city’s CCTV. He was arrested on the spot for being intoxicated and making “incoherent remarks”, the same source said. He was initially placed in a drunk tank and was to be psychiatrically examined with a view to possible involuntary admission to a psychiatric ward.
