Police in Paris have opened fire on a woman who allegedly made threatening remarks on a train, the latest security incident in the country that has been on heightened anti-terror alert since a fatal stabbing at a school blamed on an Islamic extremist.
They said officers responded after several train passengers phoned the emergency services and reported that a woman was making threats and that she was wearing a face and head covering.
It wasn’t clear what threats the woman was making but local reports suggest she shouted “Allahu akbar”, which is arabic for “God is the Greatest”.
A Metro and suburban train station that serves the Francois-Mitterrand national library in eastern Paris has been evacuated, police said.
Earlier this month, a knifeman shouting “Allahu Akbar” at Gambetta High School in the city of Arras left one teacher dead and several other people injured as former Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal called for a Day of Jihad.
Local police spokesperson Axel Ronde said the officers that shot the woman this morning had “made the right decision”.
