A man was arrested Saturday after an attack on two women Friday evening. The accused man was placed in custody. He is a 30-year-old man who was already the object of an order to leave French territory (expulsion order) in the Rhone Department, explains the Bayonne Prosecutor's Office. Provided housing by the two victims, he had gone out to buy a knife after an argument with them, before returning to their residence to attack them.
Victims not yet interviewed
Emergency services responded Friday evening shortly before 20:30 after the knife attack upon two women, ages 64 and 28. The events played out in an apartment at the Jouandin esplanade, in the Hauts de Bayonne quarter.
They were evacuated in serious condition to the hospital center of the Basque Coast. Transported to the Pellegrin hospital at Bordeaux, they have not yet been able to be interviewed by the police, and, in particular, require facial surgery. When the emergency services and police arrived, the attacker was no longer at the scene. An investigation for attempted homicide has been opened.
