Paris Metro stabbings suspect moved to psychiatric hospital, prosecutors say

The 25-year-old suspect was released after 90 days in detention due to lack of deportation documents and moved to a psychiatric hospital during the investigation.

  • On Saturday, prosecutors said the suspect was released from custody and moved to a psychiatric hospital in France because continued police custody was incompatible with his health.
  • On Friday, police arrested the suspect after three women were stabbed on Paris metro Line 3 during end-of-year festivities and located him in the Val d'Oise region using surveillance and mobile tracking.
  • Transport police opened an investigation into attempted murder and assault with a weapon, and the three victims were attacked at three different locations along the Line 3 metro track and were injured but not critically.
  • Interior Minister Laurent Nunez last week urged 'maximum vigilance' during the festive season, calling for particular attention to public transport security amid a high terrorist threat and public disorder risk.
  • Administrative and deportation constraints complicated prior detention and release after 90 days in an administrative detention centre due to failure to obtain a consular travel document, and the interior ministry said the Malian citizen was imprisoned in January 2024 for aggravated theft and sexual assault.
