One person has died and several others have been injured after a knife attack in a suburb of Paris.

A man stabbed a number of passers-by in Villejuif, about 7km (4 miles) south of the French capital, on Friday.

The attacker was chased by police and shot dead, reportedly in a neighbouring suburb. The motive is not yet clear.

Four people are believed to have been stabbed. Two are reported to have been seriously injured and have been taken to hospital.

The attack took place outside a supermarket at 14:00 local time (13:00 GMT) and the targets appear to have been chosen at random.

Police have advised people to avoid the area, which is near to the Hautes-Bruyères park.
