French police are not characterizing a knife rampage in a popular Paris tourist spot as a terror attack, a French Interior Ministry spokesman told CNN.
Seven people were injured, including two middle-aged British tourists, in Sunday night's assault by a man wielding a knife and an iron bar, according to the spokesman.
"This is not being treated as a terrorist attack," he said.
"There were around 20 people chasing him. They started throwing petanque balls at him," Najah said. "Around four or five balls hit him in the head, but they weren't able to stop him."

So nice that most of Europe has strict gun control, right?
