A French soldier patrolling Paris was stabbed and wounded just days before the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics. The incident took place outside the Gare de l’Est train station in eastern Paris on Monday. The city has been on high security alert in anticipation of the Summer Games starting on July 26. The soldier sustained a shoulder blade injury but was reported to be in stable condition following the attack.
The attacker, identified as a 40-year-old man named Christian Ingondo from Congo, was taken into custody. He was later transferred to a psychiatric hospital under police supervision. Investigations into the attempted murder and the suspect's background are currently ongoing.
