Paris knife attack near Charlie Hebdo's former office leaves four wounded

Four people have been wounded in a knife attack near the former offices of satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a suspect has been arrested, police in Paris have said.

A Paris police official said that while authorities initially thought two attackers were involved, they now believe it was only one person, who was detained near the Bastille plaza in eastern Paris.

It is unclear what motivated the attack Friday or whether it had any link to Charlie Hebdo, which moved offices after they were attacked by Islamic extremists in 2015.
