At least three people were injured in a knife attack on the metro in the eastern French city of Lyon on Sunday, May 26, police said, adding that an attacker was arrested. Separately, Lyon public prosecutor Thierry Dran told AFP that the attack left four people injured, adding their lives were not in danger.
A police source told AFP that two of the victims were wounded in the abdomen and a third in the arm. An investigation was launched into “attempted homicide,” prosecutors said. The stabbing took place inside a subway train in the early afternoon, local paper Le Progres reported. A spokesman for Lyon’s public transport company said the subway was quite busy at the time of the attack.
Lyon is France’s third-biggest city after Paris and Marseille, with the population of around 1.75 million.
