PARIS: A knife-wielding man ran amok Friday in a park south of Paris, killing a man walking with his wife and wounding two other people before being shot dead by police, officials said. The Paris police department said the man, identified as 22-year-old Nathan C., attacked “several people” around lunchtime in the suburb of Villejuif. The victim “was walking with his wife when the attacker approached; he wanted to protect his wife” and was stabbed, the mayor explained. The assailant then fled to the neighbouring suburb of Hay-les-Roses, where he was shot dead by police. Police eventually killed all three attackers but it was the beginning of the wave of strikes on French territory.
