French police have shot a man outside Notre Dame cathedral in Paris after he tried to attack them with a hammer and shouted "this is for Syria", according to the interior minister. He was also in possession of two knives. One policeman was lightly injured in the attack.

The man also said he was a "soldier of Daesh (Isil)", according to a source on the investigation.

The main square has been evacuated and a police operation is underway. Paris police say the situation is now "under control".

Anti-terror prosecutors have launched an investigation meaning they consider the attack terror-related.

Good on the Paris police, too. From what I hear, they were also efficient and quick to respond.

The Gendarmes are not known for being slow on the uptake, Quill. Or being particularly gentle with suspects.
