They’re enriching our culture – with an axe!
An axe rampage on a French train has left four injured with one victim’s hand cut off and another suffering a split skull.
The gruesome attack took place during a fight involving minors at around 8am (7am GMT) on the RER E line while the train was stationed at Ozoir-la-Ferrière, southeast of Paris.
During the brawl, one victim sustained severe injuries, with a hand cut off, while another had their skull split open.
Two others involved in the altercation received lighter injuries and were treated on the scene.
French state rail operator SNCF confirmed that the violence erupted while the train was halted at the station.
They added that the violence did not affect traffic on the RER E line, which runs east to west through Paris and its surrounding areas.
It was not immediately clear what triggered the fight, in which weapons including the axe, a knife, a samurai sword and baseball bats were used.
All the wounded people were brought to hospital and none were in danger for their life, the source added.
The main suspect, a 16-year-old, was later arrested at his home and held in custody, another police source said.
France is so much more interesting now that it isn’t white.
Remember when France used to be boring?
