In a terrifying turn of events, a man wielding a knife and hammer launched a series of attacks in Paris, leaving one person dead and two others injured.
The suspect, a 26-year-old French citizen with Iranian parents, targeted a German tourist and his wife near the Eiffel Tower, fatally stabbing the man before fleeing the scene.
After escaping from the initial attack, the suspect assaulted two more individuals, including a French man and a British tourist, causing injuries that were not life-threatening.
Police swiftly apprehended the suspect, who had reportedly made references to Islamic extremism and expressed frustration over the deaths of Muslims in Afghanistan and Palestine.
The attack has sent shockwaves through France, prompting an investigation by anti-terrorism prosecutors. President Emmanuel Macron has expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and commended emergency responders for their swift action.
