French police hunt man who threw grenade into bar, injuring 15
Two of the wounded were still in critical condition on Thursday
French police were on Thursday searching for an unidentified man who hurled a grenade into a bar in the southeastern city of Grenoble, injuring 15 people.
The attacker, whose motive was still unclear, entered the Aksehir bar, situated in a rough neighbourhood of the city, shortly after 8pm on Wednesday, prosecutors said.
“Someone came in and threw a grenade, apparently without saying a word, and ran away,” prosecutor Francois Touret-de-Courcy told reporters.
Two of the wounded were still in critical condition on Thursday.
“I heard a loud bang,” said Agnes Lefebvre-Paquet, a witness in her 70s.
“And I said to myself that it wasn’t a firecracker. I assumed it was a neighbourhood problem.”
