A man has been arrested after firing a Kalashnikov rifle on board an Amsterdam-Paris train, according to French media.
Le Parisien reports that a Briton and an American are "seriously" wounded.
A third person, the French actor Jean-Hugues Anglade, was also wounded and is said to have raised the alarm. La Voix du Nord, a newspaper in the Calais region, said a man was arrested on suspicion of firing the weapon on a Thalys train near the northern town of Arras.
Police say that have not ruled out terrorism as a possible motive and Bernard Cazeneuve, the French interior minister, has been summoned to the region. The gunman, said to be of "North African origin," is said to have been "taken down" by a group of US marines onboard the train.

The gunman, said to be of "North African origin," is said to have been "taken down" by a group of US marines onboard the train.
For God, Corps and Country.
Semper Fi. Do or Die.
Well done, Marines!
If it weren’t for the idiot politicians everywhere, the Marines would have taken this moozlum scourge out a long time ago.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the young man stooped down isn’t the Marine.
I believe that as well. Otherwise it would have been a complete slaughter.
“The marines jumped him when he came out of the bathroom after they heard him loading the AK in there.”
They were the only ones on the train who knew what an AK sounded like, and were ready and willing to take action.
God Bless the Marines!
