Lyon, France - One person was killed and
at least nine others wounded on Saturday in the city of
Villeurbanne near Lyon in central France after a suspected knife
attack, a police source told Reuters.
A suspect who was carrying a knife was arrested while
authorities were hunting for a suspected second attacker
believed to be carrying a metal spike used to roast meat.
The source said the motivation for the suspected attack,
reported to have taken place around 1430 GMT, was not
immediately clear.
A helicopter was patrolling the area, a Reuters
correspondent at the location reported.
The suspected attacker assaulted residents waiting at a bus
stop and then ran towards an underground station before being
seized by other local people and transport staff, Lyon mayor
Lyon Gerard Collomb told reporters.
