A man armed with a knife and threatening police officers was arrested on Friday morning in Ormesson-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne) near the Pince-Vent shopping centre. He shouted “Allah Akbar” several times during his arrest and was taken into police custody, Actu17 learnt.
The police were alerted at around 10.30am by security guards at the shopping centre, which is located in the neighbouring municipality of Chennevières-sur-Marne on the border with Ormesson-sur-Marne. The suspect, armed with a knife, threatened the security guards, who eventually managed to force him out without allowing him to enter the shopping centre. (…)
“He said there were other people with knives in the shopping centre,” said a source familiar with the case. “Investigations and checks were carried out, but they did not lead to any results”.
The man’s motives would have to be determined. An investigation has been launched. Actu17
