French media reports that a knife wielding man has killed four officers outside central police headquarters in Paris.
The attacker was supposedly a member of staff at the building, and was later shot dead by police. The area in the île de la Cité, in the centre of Paris, has been sealed off. Reports state that “the attack happened at about 13:00 local time (11:00 GMT) in the courtyard of the police building.”
French police secure the area in front of the Police headquarters in Paris.
It comes a day after French police went on strike across the country over increasing violence towards officers and rising suicide rates within the force.
French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner is at the scene.
