A 27-year-old man was the victim of a knife attack on the metro in Lyon on Sunday. He had a 7 to 8 centimeter wound on the back of his neck. Just couple of centimeters to the side and he’d died, so he was lucky in that sense.
An investigation has been opened for “attempted voluntary homicide” the Lyon prosecutor’s office said.
A pair of apparent street vendors were arguing and at one point one of them sprayed a flammable liquid - believed to be cane - on the other and himself, then lit a fire with a lighter, according to a closed-circuit television (CCTV) video. The man who was sprayed with the liquid burst into flames and ran away. As he ran, he took off clothes to put out the fire. The hair of the person who started the fire also caught fire, as he had poured the flammable liquid over his head. He managed to put them out, as can be seen in the images.
Apparently, the injuries suffered by both were not serious and were only superficial burns.
They stormed the stage during The Tempest, tossing confetti like it's a toddler's birthday.
A 31-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident, after police in the Saskatchewan city allege he also set two vehicles on fire.
