Drugs Ruled Out in Paris Knife Rampage |
2018-09-13 |
[AnNahar] A man being held after a knife attack that injured seven people along a canal in Gay Paree was not under the influence of drugs at the time, a legal source told AFP on Tuesday. The suspect, believed to be an Afghan citizen in his 30s, was described by witnesses as acting drugged when he began striking people with a knife and iron bar on the Canal de l'Ourcq late Sunday. Two British tourists and an Egyptian visitor were among those injured, and three people were still in hospital as of Monday evening, including one at death's door, a source close to the inquiry said. The attacker was finally overpowered by bystanders, some of whom tried to stop him by throwing petanque balls. "He seemed to be on something. He definitely didn't seem normal. He had a blank look... He didn't say anything. Even when we hit him, he didn't shout," one witness, Hamani Bouadjema, told AFP. But blood tests of the suspect, who was still in hospital as of Tuesday, did not reveal any traces of drug use, the legal source said. Although tourists were among the targets, "nothing at this stage suggests a terrorist attack," another source said. |
