Several people were injured in a stabbing attack at the Gare du Nord train station in central Paris on Wednesday morning, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin has said.

The suspect was “quickly neutralized” by police, Darmanin wrote on Twitter, praising the officers for their “effective and courageous response.”

According to the media, the police fired shots at the knife-wielding man to stop the attack.

Railway operator TER Hauts-de-France said the incident at Gare du Nord has led to disruptions in the train schedule.
