A 31‑year‑old man was arrested in Paris after allegedly stabbing three women, one of whom was pregnant, at a brewery in the Porte de Clichy district. The attack took place on Monday evening. Two victims were in critical condition, while a third suffered moderate injuries.
During the arrest, the suspect reportedly said, “it is Allah who commanded me,” according to police. He was described as having an unbalanced profile. The statement was captured by witnesses present at the scene.
Authorities cautioned against drawing conclusions about the motive, citing the suspect's incoherent remarks. They emphasized the need for a thorough investigation before labeling the incident as terrorism.
The incident comes amid a series of violent events across Europe, including a fatal stabbing in London and a vehicle attack on a Pride parade in Berlin. Both attacks occurred within the last two weeks.
The Berlin attack, carried out by a driver with German citizenship and Lebanese heritage, resulted in one death and 29 injuries. Police later neutralized the suspect.
The London stabbing involved six men arrested on suspicion of murder after a 22‑year‑old victim was killed near Clapham High Street. The incident was reported to have taken place early Saturday morning.
A national security strategy released earlier this year warned of growing security risks linked to migration and demographic shifts in Europe. The strategy highlighted the need for heightened vigilance against potential extremist threats.
The immigration status of the suspects involved in the recent attacks has not yet been confirmed, leaving questions about their background unresolved.
