Fear this morning at the Gare du Nord in Paris.
Two policemen opened fire at around 7 am on a man who brandished a knife towards them with the inscription ACAB (“All cops are bastards”). The man later died of his injuries.
The terrorist trail has been excluded, as confirmed to the microphones of the RMC radio by the French Minister of Transport, Jean-Baptiste Djebbari. The Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, confirmed the incident, paying tribute to the readiness of the agents who "avoided any danger for themselves and for travelers".
The two policemen pulled out the weapon when the suspect - a man of the European type, often seen wandering around the station - approached them with a knife with a blade of about 30 centimeters. A large security perimeter was immediately set up around the waiting and arrival area for trains, many of which were delayed.
