A person was arrested on Tuesday for threatening with a weapon in a hospital in Montreuil (Seine Saint Denis), according to a police source.
At 08:15, a security guard at the Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal André Grégoire was called for assistance by a nurse who had spotted an intruder smoking a cigarette in a corridor. The security guard discovered the man in a changing room, where he was praying completely naked and shouting “Allah Akbar”. The man stood up and grabbed a sharp metal object, which he aimed at the security guard. The guard was able to disarm the attacker and hold him in a room until the police arrived.
The suspect was arrested without incident and taken into police custody. The hospital staff remained unharmed and did not press charges. VA
