A man brandishing a 16-inch knife has injured seven people in an attack next to a Parisian canal. The man of Afghan origin was also armed with an iron bar when he attacked people outside the MK2 cinema complex by the Quai de Loire in the 19th district, Le Parisien reported.

AVA- Two British tourists were injured, one stabbed in the head and the other knifed in the chest, in the attack which occurred in the northeast of the city at around 11pm on Sunday, France’s BFMTV reported.
Locals playing the boules game pétanque threw steel balls at the attacker to try to stop him. He was later arrested.
One witness told BFMTV: “You could see people lying on the ground, blood, and a guy running with a knife that was about 40 centimeters long. Then, a policeman shouted 'step aside! step aside!'"
