Six Wounded in Paris Knife Attack

by VOA News

   Authorities in France say an attacker armed with a knife wounded six
   people Wednesday morning at a busy train station in Paris.

   Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin told reporters police shot the
   attacker, who was "between life and death" after being taken to a
   hospital.

   The attack happened at the Gare du Nord station, one of the busiest in
   Europe.

   The motive for the attack was unclear, and authorities say they have
   opened a criminal investigation.

   Some information for this report came from The Associated Press and
   Reuters.
