Knife attack near former Hebdo offices leaves two injured

Two people from a TV production company have been seriously injured in a stabbing attack in Paris this morning.

However, the victims' wounds are not life-threatening and reports suggest that no one else was wounded.

The incident has prompted a counter-terrorism investigation as the attack occurred near the former Charlie Hebdo newspaper office.

In 2015, the satirical magazine published cartoons of the prophet Muhammad which led to an attack on its editorial staff by Islamist extremists, 12 people were killed.

Two suspects of today's attack, one of which was spotted shortly after the attack with bloodied clothes and a large knife, have since been arrested according to French media reports.

It is currently unclear what the motives behind the attack were, although the trial of 14 suspects in the Charlie Hebdo killings is presently underway in the French capital.
