Sri Lanka, Oct. 30 -- The French officials state that the Tunisian man carried out the knife attack killing three people yesterday (29) has only recently arrived in Europe.

The 21-year-old suspect had carried an Italian Red Cross document which was issued after he arrived on the Italian island of Lampedusa by migrant boat last month.

He is currently in critical condition after being shot by the police.

French President Emmanuel Macron called the incident an "Islamist terrorist attack".
