A man has been “neutralised” after attacking several people at a train station in Paris, a French minister has said.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin confirmed a man had injured several people at the Gare du Nord this morning.
French media, quoting unnamed police sources, said officers opened fire on the attacker, who was armed with a knife.
Broadcaster BFM TV said the attack left six people injured.
The attack happened around 6.40am local time (5.40am GMT), according to rail operator SNCF.
It said a security perimeter had been established but the station continued to operate normally.
The Gare du Nord is one of the busiest train stations in Europe and links Paris to London and the north of Europe.
The attack comes a month after three people were killed and three injured after a gunman opened fire at a Kurdish cultural centre in Paris.
