The man had keys to SNCF technical equipment, cutting pliers and left-wing extremist writings in his car, police sources said on Monday.

The police initially made no connection between the acts of sabotage on Friday and the suspect. No one has yet publicly claimed responsibility for Friday's acts. The approach was "typical of left-wing extremists", Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin told France 2 on Monday.
