In Paris, an Afghan man was arrested last night after injuring seven people with a knife. The acts took place around a quarter to eleven in the evening at a cinema in the 19th arrondissement on the Quai de la Loire, at walking distance from the Gare du Nord (north train station).

The young Afghan, armed with a knife and an iron bar, initially struck three people, two men, and a woman, at a cinema and then attacked two British tourists. A witness tried to stop the attacker by throwing a ‘pétanque’ balls at him. Two of the people who tried to stop him were also injured.

The first research results do not immediately point to terrorism, a source close to the investigation declared in the course of the night: "we cannot say at the moment that these are terrorist acts."

Local resident Mr Youssef Najah, 28-years-old, was walking on the Quai de Loire along the canal when he saw a man "running with a 25-30 cm knife in his hand. There were about twenty people who pursued him, they threw pétanque balls at hime. He took 4 to 5 balls on his head, but they could not stop him.”

Still according to this witness, the man then got himself in a stalemate, he "tried to hide behind two English tourists. They were told, be careful, he has a knife. But they did not react. These tourists were then attacked.”

Local newspaper Le Parisien declared that the attacker is 20 years old and has the Afghan nationality. Nothing is known yet about his motives, simply that he targeted ‘strangers in the street.’

The investigation into attempted manslaughter is in the hands of the second district of the judicial police.
