Knife attacks in Nantes: a 50-year-old man indicted. A repeat offender was placed in pre-trial detention on Sunday after attacking and kidnapping three people on Friday.

The man was very well known to the police for various cases of theft and violence. Justice accuses him of two attempted murders accompanied by two kidnappings. His wanderings in the historic center, marked in particular by a knife attack on a passer-by, left three victims. He was remanded in custody on Sunday evening.
