PARIS — A 27-year-old Moroccan man attacked people with a knife in the metro in the French city of Lyon on Sunday (May 26), injuring at least three, authorities said.

He made no religious or political claim during the attack, the prefect said.

None of the victims' lives was in danger, Buccio said, adding that one of those injured was 17 years old.
