Knife and Hammer Attack in Paris; Attacker Injures 3 People

During an attack by an assailant armed with a knife and hammer on passengers at a train station in Paris, France, three individuals were injured. According to the police, investigations are ongoing, but this is not considered a terrorist attack. Laurent Nunez, the head of the Paris police, told reporters that the police have arrested the attacker, who showed signs of mental disorders, adding that his medication indicates he is under treatment. The police stated that two of the victims have superficial injuries, while the third victim is severely injured but in stable condition. Reports indicate that the attacker had residency in Italy but was illegally present in France. His identity has not been disclosed, but according to French media, the arrested attacker is from Mali, although the police have not officially confirmed this. France has faced a wave of attacks by Islamist extremists in recent years. However, attacks with cold and hot weapons by individuals with mental disorders also have a history and are not unexpected. A proposed immigration bill by the Macron government was rejected; the Interior Minister stated that the bill aimed to organize the status of migrants. The Interior Minister of France: 'We are constantly exposed to the threat of Islamist terrorism; extremists are mainly mentally ill.' A 'terrorist' attack occurred around the Eiffel Tower; a German tourist was killed.
