'France is ruled by the Islamic State': Knife-wielding attacker shot by Paris railway security
FILE PHOTO: French police secure an area in Villejuif near Paris, France, January 3, 2020 after police shot dead a man who tried to stab several people in a public park.
After yelling 'Allahu Akbar, France is run by Islamic State,' a knifeman was shot by Paris transport police at a train station.
The man is claimed to have been seriously hurt after brandishing the weapon and threatening security at Paris' Saint-Lazare station, one of the busiest in the city.
He was stopped for not wearing a mask and refused to comply with officials, which initiated the conflict.
The attack's motivations remain unknown.
A representative for the Paris police department had no immediate reaction.
Prosecutors in Paris said they had initiated an inquiry into attempted murder and terrorism promotion, according to a spokesperson.
