Suspect ‘neutralized’ after alleged attack at Paris central railway station, minister says

A man who injured several people Wednesday morning in a suspected knife attack at Paris’ Gare Du Nord central railway station has been “neutralized,” France’s Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin tweeted.

“An individual injured several people this morning at the Gare du Nord. He was quickly neutralized (brought under control). Thankful to the police for their effective and courageous response,” Darmanin wrote on Twitter.

French rail operator SNCF said earlier police “seemed to have opened fire” on the attacker, whose condition is presently unknown.

CNN affiliate BFMTV said several people were injured in a knife attack on Wednesday morning at the station.

“The traffic is disrupted at the departure and arrival [areas] of Paris Nord. The police seem to have opened fire against a dangerous person who injured travelers at Gare du Nord,” SNCF tweeted.

Emergency services intervened and the person has been removed. A security perimeter has been established but the station continues to operate normally, SNCF tweeted.

It’s unknown how many people were injured.

Why didn't they just taze the knife out of his hand? ACAB

Maybe a female cop tried to taze him and grabbed her pistol by accident.

Or, maybe instead of introducing violence into the situation, they could’ve talked the knifed down and offered it a chance at rehabilitation

If there had have been psychologists on the scene, rather than yucky police, this (probably refugee) would totally be on his way to a medical degree now!

Gare du Nord Is maybe my least favourite place on earth. It's the first bit of Paris you see if you take the Eurostar and it's an absolute dump. Sketchy people walking around in gangs, armed police with assault rifles, filthy, old...

I don't know why people talk like that. Paris is probably my favourite African city.
