A soldier guarding Gare de l’Est railway station in Paris was injured in a knife attack on Monday. The attacker was arrested. While the soldier’s life is not in danger, he sustained a shoulder wound.
The incident occurred just two weeks before the start of the Olympic Games in Paris.
French Armed Forces Minister Sebastien Lecornu expressed support for the injured soldier, emphasizing the soldier’s role in a special military operation deployed to protect sensitive sites in Paris following the 2015 terrorist attacks.
