An armed man has injured three people on a train between Amsterdam and Paris before being overpowered by passengers, French rail company SNCF says.
The incident happened on the high-speed Thalys service near Arras, and the assailant was arrested at its station.
Two of the victims, said to be an American and a Briton, were seriously injured - one had a gunshot wound, the other a knife wound, reports said.
The reports said the man arrested was of North African origin.
One of his weapons was said to be a Kalashnikov.
Le Monde said the man also had an automatic pistol and had so far refused to talk to police in Arras.
The two passengers who restrained the man were believed to be American.

Sounds like this could have been a whole lot worse and well done to those who dealt with this maniac.
