The probe will determine whether recorded religious claims or a psychiatric disorder explain the attack while anti‑terror prosecutors monitor the case.

Overview

  • A 31-year-old man attacked three women near Porte de Clichy on Monday, leaving two in critical condition and one victim confirmed pregnant.
  • Bystanders and an off-duty police officer restrained the suspect at the scene after he carried two kitchen knives and emergency teams took the victims to hospital.
  • Videos circulating online show the man shouting statements including “It is Allah who ordered me,” but officials described his remarks as incoherent and have not confirmed a motive.
  • Paris prosecutors opened a formal investigation and temporarily closed nearby metro and tram services while authorities verify the suspect’s identity and assess his mental health.
  • The attack follows a deadly vehicle assault in Berlin days earlier but investigators report no established link and the outcome of the probe could affect whether the case is treated as terrorism.
