Bloody epic this Sunday in downtown Creil (Oise).
It all started around 5 p.m. on Saint-Maurice Island with a marital dispute.
For reasons that remain to be determined, an individual then attacks his ex-wife before continuing his bloody journey in the center of Creil.
The man goes to rue Jean-Jaurès where a stabbing fight breaks out between him and a passer-by claiming a second victim.
The third attack takes place a few hundred meters further, rue Jules-Juillet, where again, a third person is violently attacked by the individual.

The alleged attacker then managed to flee by car towards the north of the city.
In his flight, he crosses a police vehicle and refuses to comply.
A chase ensued which ended on the Plateau, in Creil.
The individual was arrested and taken into custody.
The firefighters and the Samu were called to intervene with the three victims who were hospitalized at the Creil hospital.
One of the three victims is said to be in critical condition.
The third knife attack in the station area since October
In January, a young man had already received several stab wounds near Creil station.
Three months earlier, another individual in his twenties had also been attacked with a knife in this same area of the station, described as "sensitive" by the police.
Faced with this problem, the mayor (PS) of the city Jean-Claude Villemain announced in January 2021 the relocation of the municipal police to this sector in order "to ease certain tensions in the district but also to reassure travelers".
