Overview
- Prosecutors said the 44-year-old was placed under formal investigation and remanded after a hospital hearing, following the opening of a judicial inquiry for violence against a public official with a weapon without incapacitating injury.
- He remains hospitalized for a self-inflicted throat wound and a through wound to the thigh from police gunfire.
- According to the Paris prosecutor, the officer warned the man multiple times before firing toward his legs and the account was corroborated by body-worn camera; the officer’s custody was lifted and his weapon was seized.
- Security video showed the man running on the platform and making large gestures, and police recovered a kitchen knife, a cutter, a bottle of alcohol, and an unarmed pellet gun from his bag.
- The man had a recent domestic-violence conviction and, after new threats reported on November 9, police awaited his arrival from Rennes; a passerby in his fifties was injured in the foot during the police gunfire.
