A person armed with a knife caused a disturbance on Monday evening at 8.48 pm on a train leaving Troyes for Paris.
According to a witness, the man, who was staggering about on the train and appeared visibly unbalanced, was asked by a conductor to alight at Romilly-sur-Seine station. However, he got back on board.
He is then said to have attacked a woman, without injuring her, before being overpowered by the conductor, assisted by several passengers on the train. “I’m a nice bloke!” the man shouted, before changing his tone. In a video filmed by a passenger, he can be heard shouting “Allah is the greatest” at the moment of his arrest.
