Two people were wounded with a knife Friday morning by an unknown assailant near the former Paris editorial office of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in the 11th arrondissement of the French capital, Deutsche Welle wrote, citing local police. Both suffered life-threatening injuries.
A suspect was arrested by the Paris police in the Bastille district and another alleged perpetrator was arrested shortly after.
His motive is still unknown.
A cordon was towed around the site due to a suspicious package and several nearby schools were closed. Police did not reveal the identities of either the attacker or the victims. Reuters eyewitnesses were told that the device used for the attack had been found at the scene. One of them described the tool as a bard, while the other witness said it was a brush cutter.

In early September, a trial began in Paris in January 2015, which marked the start of a series of jihadist killings in France, which claimed seventeen mortal lives. On January 7, 2015, two French jihadists stormed the Paris editorial office of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, killing twelve people and wounding eleven. In a massacre that lasted just two minutes, the magazine’s seven main cartoonists, including editor-in-chief Charb, were executed with 34 shots.
