After the assailant hit a policeman on Thursday, another law enforcement officer shot the assailant.
The assailant, who was previously known to the police, later died of his wounds.
According to a source in the prefecture, the attacker was a 27-year-old citizen of Senegal.
On Friday, the Nanterre public prosecutor’s office told the AFP news agency that the attacker is suspected of a murder committed earlier on Thursday in the northwestern Paris suburb of Courbevoie.
According to police sources, the suspect Courbevois stabbed a 16-year-old teenager in an apartment and then ran away.
According to the attacker’s family, he had mental problems and had already run away from the family home in the Loire region, south of Paris, as well as from a psychiatric hospital.
The prefect of the Paris police, Laurent Nunez, informed that the victim of the attack on Thursday seriously injured his neck, but his life is not in danger.
According to the police, there is no suspicion of a terrorist motive, but these events have increased the tension as Paris prepares to host the Olympic Games on July 26.
