French police arrested a man armed with a knife near a church in the French capital, Paris.
The French newspaper, Le Parisien, reported today that security forces arrested a 28-year-old man who was in possession of a weapon inside the Church of Saint Luke in the 19th district.
The newspaper added that security forces found a machine pistol and some bullets in his bag, and that as a result of this incident, surveillance devices were installed around the church, and the number of security forces around it was doubled.
