Paris terror attack: Knifeman shot dead by police after killing one and injuring four
A man armed with a knife lunged at bystanders in a suspected terror attack in central Paris on Saturday night, killing at least one person and injuring four others before being shot dead by police.
The assailant shouted ‘Allahu Akhbar’ (Arabic for God is greatest) as he struck pedestrians. Two of the injured were in serious condition.
Islamic State of the Iraq and the Levant claimed responsibility for the attack, according to the SITE monitoring group.
In a tweet, the French President Emmanuel Macron said: “France is paying the price of blood once again but is not yielding an inch to the enemies of freedom
"I salute on behalf of all French people the courage of the police officers who neutralised the terrorist," he added
The attack took place on rue Monsigny in the heart of Paris near the Palais Garnier Opera House in the 2nd arrondissement. The area, which has many cafés, restaurants, cinemas and theatres, was packed with people out for the evening.
