A ” deranged ” man was arrested during the night on line 5 at the Gare-de-l’Est station. A few moments before, he had pushed a man onto the tracks of line 7. Fortunately, no metro was arriving at the time, so the victim was unharmed.
More fear than horror in the metro. A “confused” 25-year-old man was arrested for attempted murder at Gare-de-l’Est station on Monday night after pushing an unknown person onto the tracks. At around 0.15am, officers from the Transport Brigade were called by the RATP because a suspicious person was causing a disturbance in the underground corridors of the Metro. Via the metro’s CCTV cameras, they were able to identify an agitated man who was smashing street furniture and shouting “Allahu akbar” on the platform of line 5 leading to Place-d’Italie.
The suspect, a man of Tunisian origin, is arrested and at the same time one of the victims reports. She explains that she has just been attacked on line 7. The other passenger clearly identifies the attacker who had just pushed him onto the tracks of the line for no reason at all. Fortunately, no underground was arriving at the time and he was unharmed.(…) Le Parisien
