A man was arrested after threatening to commit an attack while travelling on a high-speed TGV train in eastern France on Friday. 

“The situation is finished and under control. The individual has been arrested,” a spokesman for SNCF told AFP

A police source said that the man was initially detained by a policeman who was travelling on the train as an ordinary passenger.

The nature of the attack that the man had threatened to commit was not immediately clear.

The TGV train heading from the eastern city of Colmar to Paris had a delay of 90 minutes as a result of being stopped for security forces to intervene, the spokesman said
