| One person has been killed and at least nine others wounded near Lyon in central France after a suspected knife attack, a police source told Reuters. | |
| A suspect who was carrying a knife was arrested after the attack on Saturday in the city of Villeurbanne, while authorities were hunting for a suspected second attacker believed to be carrying a metal spike used to roast meat. | |
| The source said the motivation for the suspected attack, reported to have taken place around 1430 GMT, was not immediately clear. A helicopter was patrolling the area, a Reuters correspondent at the location reported. | |
| The suspected attacker assaulted residents waiting at a bus stop and then ran towards an underground station before being seized by other local people and transport staff, Lyon mayor Gérard Collomb told reporters. | |
