There was no initial sign that the Paris knife attack was linked to terrorism, a judicial source told Reuters, saying that the French police had arrested a man who wounded seven people in the attack.
The assault happened approximately 10:45 p.m. local time, with the assailant wielding a knife and an iron bar injuring seven people, some of them seriously, Le Parisien reported.
The previous month, two people were killed and one was seriously wounded in a knife attack in the Paris suburb of Trappes. The Daesh terror organization claimed responsibility, but the French prosecutor's office did not treat the incident as a case of terrorism.
