The events took place early in the evening. After watching the LOSC football match with a friend, the victim decided to walk the dog, a Malinois, alone. Arriving on the towpath along the Roubaix Canal, not far from a Burger King, the man allegedly met his attacker. “Around 5:50 p.m., a person who had stolen a knife from a nearby store fatally stabbed the victim. An emergency doctor who was jogging tried to resuscitate the person without success,” explained Bernard Gérard, mayor of Marcq-en-Barœlig;ul, quoting France 3 Hauts-de-France.

The suspect is believed to be a homeless person

“It's a terrible tragedy. It's also something incomprehensible given the current state of knowledge of the facts,” he confided. The motive for the attack is not yet known. The attack currently appears to be a random act. A suspect has been arrested and taken into custody. Shortly before the attack, he allegedly stole a knife from a nearby furniture and decoration store. According to the police source, the attacker is believed to be homeless. The suspect has not yet been able to give a viable testimony due to his condition.
