Overview

  • A 60-year-old man suspected of slashing a woman with a cutter in Nanterre was placed under formal investigation for attempted murder and remanded to pre-trial detention, according to the Nanterre prosecutor.
  • Forensic doctors documented long facial and shoulder wounds on the 47-year-old victim and prescribed thirty days of total work interruption.
  • Investigators resumed questioning after the Nanterre suspect’s suicide attempt led to a hospital stay that temporarily halted police custody.
  • In Paris, a man in his twenties was stabbed multiple times after intervening when a passenger insulted his companion on tramway T3 and was taken to Georges-Pompidou hospital in critical condition, with his life not in danger by morning.
  • Police detained a 42-year-old suspect minutes after the tram attack with blood on his hand, witnesses identified him, and an inquiry for attempted voluntary homicide was assigned to the 3rd judicial police district, with reports differing on whether the victim suffered five or six wounds.
