At least three people were injured in a knife attack Saturday morning at the Gare de Lyon, one of whom is in serious condition. The alleged perpetrator of the attack, who holds an Italian driver’s license, has been arrested. The Paris police headquarters indicates that three people were injured Saturday morning at the Gare de Lyon in a knife attack that took place in hall 3 (underground) of the station.
