A German tourist was killed and several other people injured in central Paris late Saturday after a man attacked them with a knife and a hammer, the French authorities said.
The case stirred fears of renewed Islamist terror attacks in a nation already on edge.
The other person, a woman, was not injured, Mr. Darmanin said.
“This person was clearly ready to kill other people,” Mr. Darmanin told reporters in Paris.
The country is still on its highest terrorism threat alert after the killing last month of a teacher in northern France.
