Police in Paris have opened fire on a woman who allegedly made threatening remarks on a train, the latest security incident in the country that has been on heightened anti-terror alert since a fatal stabbing at a school blamed on an Islamic extremist, APA reports citing Independent.
Police said officers opened fire after she didn’t respond to their warnings. They said officers responded after several train passengers phoned the emergency services and reported that a woman was making threats and that she was wearing a face and head covering.
The woman allegedly suffered stomach injuries but the police said they had no immediate information on her condition.
It wasn’t clear what threats the woman was making but local reports suggest she shouted “Allahu akbar”, which is arabic for “God is the Greatest”.
A Metro and suburban train station that serves the Francois-Mitterrand national library in eastern Paris has been evacuated, police said.
