It is reported that the detained man was a Syrian citizen and arrived in the country as a refugee. He is suspected of attempting to organize an Islamist attack. During the search, the foreigner found a cold weapon. The Syrian planned to make several attacks in one of the crowded places - the railway station or the shopping center.

Earlier, a similar incident occurred in France, where an alien with a knife rushed to shred passers-by, resulting in a cut from the death of two women. Police killed the criminal on the spot.

As reported in the "URA-Inform", recently in French Marseille, a man with a knife attacked passers-by, resulting in injuring three people.
