Two injured in Paris knife attack near Charlie Hebdo's former office

Two people were seriously injured in a knife attack Friday near the former offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, the site of a 2015 terrorist attack.

The two victims are in a serious condition but their lives are not in danger, according to the police spokesperson. Police had previously said there were four people wounded in the attack.

One person has now been arrested in Paris's 11th district. A second suspect has also been arrested, reports say.

A blade - described as a machete or a meat cleaver - was recovered at the scene of the attack.

Anti-terrorism police have taken over the investigation.

The victims are employees of a French documentary production company, the firm's founder told BFM TV.
