Four people were injured, two of them critically, in an axe attack during a fight on a suburban train outside Paris on Monday morning, according to a police source. The incident occurred around 8:00 a.m. (0700 GMT) on the RER E line train at the Ozoir-la-Ferrière station, southeast of Paris.

One victim sustained severe injuries, including a severed hand, while another suffered a skull fracture. Two others sustained less serious injuries. The altercation involved several individuals, some of whom were minors, the police source reported.
