A man entered the Saint-Louis church in Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines) shortly before 5pm on Wednesday December 25 and shouted ‘Allah Akbar’, Le Figaro has learned from police sources.
The suspect, who had no identity papers, was arrested by the police and taken into custody. He is currently in custody, as the public prosecutor’s office in Versailles confirmed to Le Figaro.
In front of the astonished crowd of around 15 worshippers waiting for the 6.30 p.m. service, the person then walked down the altar before showing his bum.
