Paris attack – ‘Two Brits’ among at least seven injured by rampaging knifeman as suspect arrested
A suspect ‘of Pakistani or Afghan origin’ began ‘slashing passers-by’ on the Loire Quay in the north of the city on Sunday night
The knifeman, who was also armed with a metal bar, first stabbed three people outside the MK2 cinema complex, "including two English tourists", according to investigators.
One was particularly badly hurt after being "stabbed in the head", while the other was "cut in the chest".
He injured four others, before a police night patrol appeared, and arrested the unnamed man at the scene.
An attempted murder case has been launched by judicial police, with Paris prosecutors opening an official enquiry, according to Le Parisien.
A Foreign Affairs spokesperson reportedly confirmed to the french paper that two people were among those injured in the attack.
The victims were all rushed to local hospitals, where their conditions were described as "serious but not life threatening".
The attacker is not thought to have been badly injured by officers in the arrest.
The UK Foreign Office said: "We are urgently investigating this incident and are in close contact with the French authorities."

And police say it's not terrorism. [head/deak]
"Serious but not life threatening" is the latest narrative.
One individual was stabbed in the head. "Not life threatening" can mean comatose-but-alive, feeding tube, but alive, incontinent but alive.
Gee. Don't we all feel better now?
Wait! It wasn't terrorism. It was a 30 year old "child migrant" with papers to prove it!

Tomorrow is the 17th anniversary of 9/11
Ahead of the 17th anniversary of 9/11, the 'Tower of Voices' was erected in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, by the @NatlParkService to honor the victims of Flight 93. https://fxn.ws/2QhzVvJ

As a reminder, Alec Rawls of Crescent of Betrayal explains this design element of the Shanksville PA memorial:
The Tower of Voices is a year-round-accurate Islamic prayer-time sundial
Representing "Embrace Islam....or else"
Notice the crescent arc of this tower...the chimes, one for each of the forty passengers and crew....none for the terrorists...evoke the screams of terror in perpetuity. The terrorists on the other hand are memorialized in the 44 incscribed translucent blocks placed along the flight path, matching the number of passengers, crew AND terrorists. open the design drawings and count
