A 27-year-old man attacked two women in the center of Paris with a knife. He was kept in detention until his next court appearance on January 31.

The man's criminal record includes a conviction for drug trafficking. He is also under judicial supervision for an identical case. The court will decide if he can be released on bail or if he must remain in custody. The case is being investigated by the Paris prosecutor's office and the National Court of Justice of France, which will decide whether to release him.
