The suspect opened fire on the police, according to Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin.
“The alleged perpetrator of the arson attack on the synagogue has been detained. Thanks to the police, and mainly the RAID, who intervened with great professionalism despite his gunfire,” Darmanin said on X, referencing an elite unit of the National Police.
BFMTV reported that the suspect was wounded but not in critical condition following the gunfight.
The arrest follows a blast outside a synagogue that injured a police officer, the latest in a series of incidents in recent months that have unsettled France’s large Jewish community.
