Knife attack in Paris: suspect remanded to psychiatric care
The custody of a man arrested Monday after wounding three women with a knife in Paris's 17th arrondissement, two of them seriously, was lifted Tuesday on psychiatric grounds.
The suspect was unknown to police and judicial authorities before this incident.
The lifting of his custody and referral to the psychiatric system indicate that authorities consider mental disorder as a determining factor in this violent act.
Bien que cet incident soit localisé à Paris, il reflète les problématiques de sécurité publique en milieu urbain et la gestion des troubles psychiatriques dans le système judiciaire français.
