One dead, nine injured in France after suspected knife attack

LYON, France (Reuters) - One person was killed and at least nine other wounded on Saturday in the city of Villeurbanne, near Lyon, central France, after a suspected knife attack, a local police source told Reuters. A suspect who was carrying a knife was arrested while authorities were on the hunt for a suspected second attacker believed to be in possession of a metal spike used to roast meat. Motivations behind the suspected attack, which was reported to have taken place around 1430 GMT, were not clearly established, the source added. 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.
