at Paris train station before being shot
'A knifeman who was reportedly shouting "France is ruled by ISIS" has been shot in a Paris train station after
attacking security in a row over face mask. The incident took place last night at Saint-Lazare station, one of
the French capital's busiest stations.
According to local media, the attack was sparked just before midnight on Monday when the man was stopped
by staff on platform 20 and 21, getting off the train to Pontoise (Val-d ' Oise), for not wearing a face mask,
according to Le Parisien.
He refused to comply and threatened the railway security officers with a knife, while shouting "Allahu Akbar.
France is ruled by the Islamic State," BFMtv reported.
In response, an officer drew his gun and shot a number of times, hitting him twice in the chest.
He then fell on the tracks and police were able to retrieve his knife.
The man was later rushed to the Georges-Clémenceau European hospital, where he is in a life-threatening
condition, reports claim. An official source confirmed to Le Parisien that CCTV footage shows "an individual
taking out a knife and threatening the crew."
A Paris police spokesman had no immediate comment.
France's state-owned railway company SNCF said in a statement: "The two agents used their
service weapon to defend and neutralise him.
"The injured individual was taken care of by the emergency services."
The 47-year-old French national, who has not been named but was identified by documents in
his belongings, was previously known to the police for acts of violence but was not known to the
intelligence services.
An investigation for attempted voluntary homicide on a person in charge of a public service mission,
apology for terrorism and violence with weapons has been opened.
The two police officers who claimed self-defence will appear in a hearing while other officers who were
on the scene will also appear as witnesses.
A cop who was not on duty but happened to be at the station is also set to testify...'
