Four people were stabbed to death in Paris on Friday, on Nicolas Appert Street, near the former headquarters of Charlie Hebdo.
This attack, which coincides with the trial for the attack that in 2015 decimated the writing of the satirical publication, would have been committed by a single person who was arrested, said the police, who at first spoke of two attackers.
The alleged assailant, who carried traces of blood, had tried to flee by metro, but was detained in the Bastille metro, according to FranceInfo. According to News Paris, he would have already confessed the facts.
He also lowered the number of wounded and indicated that it was two and not four, who had been attacked with a sharp-pointed butcher knife. One of the injured is a journalist from the First Lines press agency.
The injured are in very serious condition but not life-threatening, the Paris police said.
Local television channel BFM reported that a security fence was put up around the perimeter and that several schools, day care centers and residences for the elderly were closed nearby as a precaution. Thousands of children were confined.
Despite the fact that Al Qaida threatened a new attack after the magazine refused to stop publishing cartoons of Muhammad, no one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
In addition, although the shipment of an explosive device was initially reported, but the place was searched and no suspicious artifact was found.
Following the January 7, 2015 attack, in which 12 people were killed, including some of France’s most famous cartoonists, the magazine moved to other premises, the address of which is being kept secret.
