The French Interior Ministry reported that was a “grave public security incident” in the vicinity of the Louvre museum. The area was sealed off.
The attacker armed with a machete tried to assault a four-man patrol of soldiers at the Carrousel du Louvre area. Earlier reports said he was a wielding a knife and had a suitcase.
