The man arrested was a French citizen previously known to intelligence services, CNN reported.

A German tourist born in the Philippines was killed in the attack and two others sustained injuries. One of the police officers responding to the scene used a taser to neutralize the attacker, Darmanin said. The suspect’s life is not at risk, he added

Addressing reporters, Darmanin said that the suspect was born in France in 1997 and had been sentenced to four years in prison back in 2016 for planning “violent action.”

The suspect was known to intelligence services for having “serious psychiatric disorders,” Darmanin added.

The reason?

They had to change seats after complaining about sitting next to a farting dog on the 13-hour flight.

It was in June when Gill and Warren Press had their seats next to a smelly dog on the Singapore Airlines aircraft, Fox Business reported.

Warren overheard the dog’s owner telling another passenger that he becomes nervous on planes and needs the pet by his side.

Surprised to be seating next to a person with a dog, the Presses sought assistance from a flight attendant and also complained that the dog was occupying Warren’s leg space, Insider reported.

The crew member informed the couple that the only vacant seats were towards the back of the aircraft, in the economy section.

The couple initially declined the offer as they had paid for premium economy seats.

Sometime later, though, the dog started to fart and the couple eventually moved to economy class seats.

On arrival at their destination, the couple reached out to the airline about their ordeal.

Singapore Airlines issued an apology and two $73 gift vouchers, but the couple found it inadequate compensation as they had to change seats from premium economy to economy.

The airline then offered travel vouchers of $200 each, but the Presses rejected it again and demanded a full fare refund.

The airline ultimately gave in and agreed to refund the fare difference in the seats.

Having ‘won’, the couple plans to donate the money to an organisation that helps match vision-impaired people with service dogs.

The KempeGowda International Airport police arrested the techie, identified as Venkat Mohit Pathipati, 29, from Rajahmundry city of Andhra Pradesh, and later released him on bail.

The incident had taken place in the early hours of July 16 and the act of the accused had created fear among fellow passengers. The techie was taken into custody after flight landed at Bengaluru International Airport and an Air France employee lodged a complaint in this regard.

The police have slapped a case on Pathipati under Aircraft Rules, 1937 and IPC’s Section 336 for endangering the life and safety of others.

The accused had told police during questioning that he was checking the emergency door’s arming and disarming function.

Pathipati is a data engineer in the US and he was coming down to Bengaluru to meet his aunt. The police granted him bail after confirming his credentials and past history. Further investigation is on.

According to local reports, people gathered in bars and restaurants to watch the match as rowdy fans chanted and hundreds of honking cars paraded and people waved flags from the windows.

Thousands of French football fans had assembled in Paris and other French cities hoping for the victory of their team in the World Cup final, but their loss to Argentina cut the parties short. A thrilling match in Qatar finished 3-3 after extra time before France lost a nail-biting shootout to Lionel Messi’s Argentina side 4-2.

Clashes were also reported in other cities in France where football fans descended on the streets in Lyon and Nice.

Local reports said police arrested 115 people in Paris so far. In the French city of Montpellier, shocking footage also showed fans chucking chairs, fireworks and rocks at riot cops – and climbing the landmark fountain.

Visuals showed people darting for cover as fireworks were flung across a square. In Lyon, riot cops fired tear gas on football fans as violence broke out in the city.

Several social media users put out videos of chaos on the streets of Paris and Lyon as people flee the tear gas shells fired by the police.

The police could be heard yelling “turn around” at rioters as water cannons reportedly moved in to break up the crowds, the report added. Police have reportedly arrested dozens of fans in Lyon.

In the French city of Nice, videos showed emergency vehicles driving over burning rubbish bins on the street as clashes erupted in the city.

On the other hand, the scenes near the Argentine embassy in Paris were different. At the embassy, a few blocks from the iconic Arc de Triomphe monument, dozens of Argentinian fans erupted in joy after the victory.

Earlier on Sunday, over 14,000 police officers were deployed across France to guarantee security as Les Bleus took on Argentina in the World Cup final.

Riots have erupted across Europe after several World Cup games in recent weeks.
