The youngest of the three suspects in the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris voluntarily surrendered himself Wednesday night to police in Charleville-Mezieres in the department of the Ardennes, local media reported early Thursday.
The 18-year-old suspect may have helped the escape of two other suspects and voluntarily surrendered himself to the police at around 11:00 p.m.local time "after seeing his name on social media," said the local media, citing a source from the police.
Another source also confirmed that Hamyd Mourad "was arrested and put in custody."
A call for witnesses with pictures of the other two suspects, who are brothers, was aired.
The other two suspects who are still at large were identified as Said Kouachi, 34, and Cherif Kouachi, 32.
Police warned that the pair are "likely to be armed and dangerous."
The attackers stormed the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday, killing 12 people.
