Tourist is stabbed to death and 'British man is knifed in front of his wife and child by assailant who shouted Allahu Akbar before attacking people in central Paris near the Eiffel Tower'
A tourist has been stabbed to death while a British man is reportedly among two others badly injured after a knifeman screaming 'Allahu Akbar' launched a frenzied attack in central Paris tonight.
The suspect, identified as Armand R., attacked any passersby he saw while shouting 'Allahu Akbar' - Arabic for God is the Greatest - near the Eiffel Tower at around 10pm, reports say.
The attacker had already been sentenced to 'four years in prison' in 2016 for planning another attack, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin revealed.
One victim, a tourist with dual German and Filipino nationality, was slashed in the back and shoulder by the attacker tonight. The man, who had not been named, was found in cardiorespiratory arrest before he passed away.
The second victim of tonight's attack was British, and was out walking with his wife when Armand R. attacked him from behind.
'The family were on the Avenue President Kennedy when they were set upon,' said an investigating source, who added: 'A hammer was used to hit the man over the head.'
The Englishman was rushed to hospital, where his condition was later described as 'stable'. A third victim was also badly hurt in a hammer attack, said the source.
The arrested man was 'immobilised with an electric stun gun,' as he ran up the Avenue du Parc de Passy, said the source. He was born in France and is French, a source added.
The bloodbath happened on the Grenelle quay, close to the Eiffel Tower in the 15th arrondissement of the French capital.
The attacker was reportedly known to police for 'radical Islamism'. He was on an 'S-File' which means he should have been under surveillance, after telling people that he wanted to die as a martyr.
A police source said that the attacker was known for psychiatric disorders and had said he could not stand Muslims being killed in the world.
In 2016, he was arrested by the French national security agency before carrying out an attack.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin confirmed tonight that one person died and another was injured. The minister wrote on X: 'The police have just courageously arrested an assailant attacking passersby in Paris, around the Quai de Grenelle.
'One deceased person and one injured person treated by the Paris fire brigade. Please avoid the area.'
Transport Minister Clement Beaune said that Paris was 'in mourning'. He wrote on X: 'Thoughts and solidarity with the families and loved ones of the victims. Thank you to our security and emergency forces for their rapid and decisive intervention.'
The attacker was arrested soon afterwards, and is currently in custody and facing a possible murder charge.
