French police on Friday (December 26, 2025) arrested a man suspected of stabbing three women in the Paris metro as the capital's end-of-year festivities were in full swing, prosecutors told AFP.
The three victims were attacked at three different locations along the Line 3 metro track that runs across central Paris, the RATP authority that runs the transit service told AFP.
An AFP journalist at the Republique station saw a security team treating a woman who had been wounded in the leg and appeared to be in a state of shock.
The attacks happened between 4:15 p.m. (1515 GMT) and 4:45 p.m. at the stations Republique and Arts et Metiers — both next to the Marais district — and the Opera station, the RATP said.
"The victims were quickly taken care of by the emergency services," it said.
