A description of the perpetrator of the armed robbery was broadcast, and 2 patrolling policemen recognised a man fitting the description at the Crainhem metro station. The suspect took out a pair of scissors and injured a policeman in the neck as he was arrested.
The victim was taken to hospital but his condition is not considered critical. The offender was immediately arrested on Wednesday.
