According to the reports, one of the servicemen deflected the first assailant's first strike by using his expandable baton, trying to disarm the man, but had to use his service weapon, shooting the attacker twice.
The attacker's motives are currently unclear; however, according to L'Est Républicain, he claimed that it was a terror act, although this information has not been confirmed by the authorities yet.
