A French soldier was stabbed while on patrol outside the Gare de l’Est train station in eastern Paris on Monday, days before the 2024 Summer Olympics are set to begin with the opening ceremony next week. 

The soldier was hospitalized with a shoulder injury but was not considered to be in life-threatening condition, officials said on Monday. 

A statement from the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office on Tuesday identified the attacker as 40-year-old Christian Ingondo.

Investigations into the attempted murder and the suspect’s background are ongoing. Ingondo, who was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was released from custody Tuesday morning and transferred to a psychiatric hospital under police supervision, the statement continued.
