One dead, two injured in Paris attack, French interior minister says
Police arrested an assailant who killed one person and injured two others in central Paris, France’s Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin told reporters at the scene on Saturday night.
...One man – a German tourist born in the Philippines – had been killed in the attack and two others sustained non-life threatening injuries, he added.
One of the police officers responding to the scene used a taser to neutralize the attacker, Darmanin said. The suspect’s life is not at risk, he said.
“After his arrest, he said he could no longer bear to see Muslims dying in both Afghanistan and Palestine,” Darmanin said.
Darmanin said he was told by police that the attacker had reportedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the assault.
