A 26-year-old Romanian was arrested for attacking passengers on line 3 of the Paris metro, the incident occurring after another similar attack.

A 26-year-old man, born in Romania, was arrested on Monday in Paris after attacking passengers on line 3 of the metro. The incident occurred at the Temple station, where the suspect attempted to rob a female passenger, hitting her with a hammer after she refused to give him her personal belongings. The victim suffered minor injuries and was declared unfit for work for eight days. The Paris prosecutor's office has opened an investigation for attempted murder, and the man was intoxicated at the time of his arrest.

Analysis of the surveillance cameras revealed another assault on a minor a few moments earlier. This incident occurred shortly after three women were injured with a knife on the same metro line. The RATP company condemned the act of violence and activated the victim support unit.
