A horrific incident has seen three people injured during the morning of Saturday at a busy train station in Paris, France. 

One of the victims was left in serious condition after a person with a “sharp weapon” struck at the Gare de Lyon station, at approximately 7am GMT (8am local time). 

Police have confirmed that the attacker was detained after going on the stabbing frenzy.  

The reasons behind the attack remain unclear at the moment, with a police source claiming the suspect was not heard crying out any slogans that could link his actions to a motive.

The source said: “The suspect did not cry out any religious slogans during his attack. He showed the police an Italian driving licence.”  

Following the incident, authorities temporarily shut down the area in the station between halls one and three, rail operator SNCF announced on the social media platform X.
