French police arrest man over soldier car ramming attack

French officials say police have arrested a man on a highway north of Paris in the search for a driver who rammed his car into soldiers.

Two officials say it is too early to say for certain that the man was the driver who rammed a car into soldiers in the Paris suburb of Levallois earlier today. Six soldiers were injured in the attack.

One of the officials said the arrest was violent, and police opened fire on the suspect. The other official said the arrest took place on the A16 highway when the man was stopped as police hunted for cars suspected of involvement in the attack.

The officials weren’t authorized to be publicly named.
