The suspect reportedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the horror stabbing spree, according to Le Parisien and Le Figaro.
The suspect, a 37-year-old Algerian man, was reportedly known to cops and was listed on the Terrorist Radicalization Prevention Reporting File, per French media.
Terrifying images showed a swarm of police and arrested the suspect on a busy road.
One victim is said to have died after sustaining multiple stab wounds.
Three municipal police officers were attacked and injured during the shock knife attack.
Two parking attendants were also seriously injured by the attacker.
Police and ambulances swarmed the picturesque city centre after a knifeman reportedly went after several people.
An investigating source said: “The man was attending a police station to sign his judicial control form connected with his house arrest.
“He refused to do this, and instead attacked a number of people with a knife. Those hurt included at least three municipal police officers.”
It also follows a series of attacks across Europe in recent months.
Last night, a Syrian refugee reportedly attempted to slit the throat of a 30-year-old Spanish tourist from behind in Germany.
The suspect attacked at Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial and said he wanted to “kill people out of hatred of Jews”, cops have said.
A few days earlier, the country was again rocked by a suspected terror attack when an Afghan asylum seeker ploughed his car into a group of demonstrators in Munich.
A 37-year-old mother and her two-year-old daughter were killed in the attack and injured at least 26 others.
