Police said they are still investigating the motive behind the stabbings.
One suspects has reportedly been arrested but the other alleged attacker has evaded arrest and is still on the run, according to local media.
Authorities are currently conducting a manhunt and are combing the area for possible suspects.
The condition of the remaining wounded is still unknown.
The national anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office had been informed but had not taken charge of the case at this stage.
Last May, a parcel bomb in front of a baker’s shop in central Lyon left 14 people slightly injured.
The perpetrator, a young radicalised Algerian, who was arrested three days later, pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, according to his confession.

Jihad? What Jihad? Everything is fine. It’s a tiny minority of extremists, go back to sleep you greasy Islamophobes. Just one mentally ill Muslim, he was a nice quiet boy.
Keep voting for cowards and traitors keep suffering the consequences.

Islam tells people to kill in this way. Muslims all over the world follow their holey Book the Quran and it says that they should go our and kill the people that are not muslims. You can call me Islamophobic, but it is true. Most muslims leave their country for free wellfare, and to make the country that they go into like theirs.
Agree. And Macron threatens Hungary , poland for not selling out their countries to islamonazis like he and his party has been doing in france https://tinyurl.com/y6vlqtwq
Muslims call Immigration ” Hijrah ” this word means Conquest by emigration, along with this is the order ” Talk peace when we are few, make war when we are many “
You’re comment can easily be characterized as over-the-top, even feverishly paranoid – because in many respects it appears to be.
Unfortunately, it is also true.
Refinements are in order, certainly – I would suggest that in most cases, alienated, angry young men from the lower and welfare classes seize upon the Koran to justify their resentments and their failures – but then again, although this is often the case, it isn’t always – not by a long shot.
Meanwhile, here in New York City, the left and the media, one and the same, use the playbook of the police in Lyon, and London, and Malmö, and Oslo – who are always “searching for the motive” behind each atrocity at the hands of Muslim migrants, as this latest tragedy in Villeurbanne represents.
Just the other day, a devout Muslim man of nineteen was charged with planning knife and bomb attacks around New York City. His first target was to be …”the Dunkin’ just blocks from his East Elmhurst home.”
His name is Awais Chudhary, and when arrested he had ISIS diagrams showing where best to plunge a knife into a victim, and, lest there be any doubt, he had texted “May Allah not turn our hearts away or make us ever doubt or hesitate.”
Yet CBS news reported this as “N.Y. teen charged with planning knife or bomb attack.”
There is simply no mention of the word “Muslim” in the CBS report – a link to which I have attached.
The reporters and their editors at CBS certainly knew better – which begs the question, does it not:
Who was CBS more interested in protecting – Mr. Chudhary, with his maps, diagrams and weaponry – or the family that might have entered Dunkin Donuts to buy a “Frozen Chocolate” for their children?
Now I too am going to sound over-the-top and feverishly paranoid – but I am convinced there is a vast criminal conspiracy that extends beyond national borders and throughout the Western world, that is facilitating these murderous assaults.
It is the Great Leftist Project, and it must be relentlessly exposed and dismantled if we are to have any hope of restoring safety to our communities.
These are are all the tell tale signs of people following a satanic religion. The other contrasting religion is feeding and clothing the poor of all faiths, visiting those in prison, building schools and clinics, digging wells in remote parts of the globe, etc.
Trouble is the Satanic religion helped by moronic Liberals and the Left are getting stronger all the time, sorry for the cliché but our people are being led like sheep to the slaughter.

Motive is simple… they were christian missionaries in need of blood to bake matzas.

Yes, what could the motive be? There are so many lone wolf attacks you would think they could form a wolf pack by now.
If you don’t deport all camel jockeys, you will have this problem going on for years. You can’t trust them.

I don’t want them here.
Who in their right mind says, “Right, we’re going to import a new group of people who weren’t previously a significant part of our group before but it means there will be suicide bombings, random mass stabbings and mass shootings, regular, prolific rapes and sex slavery of our women and children, but it will be worth it!”?

Typical that France, Germany, U S Democrats & others try to hide the true motive of the savage moslems.
The arrested attacker told the police “they do not read the koran,” but police are saying they are investigating the motive.
Moslems have shown many times Islam is not compatible with a civilized society.

As long as the leaders of the European governments are not killed by Muslim migrants, the Islamic migration to Europe will continue. All the Middle East has to offer is oil and Islamic terrorism. The West gives the Middle East oil dollars, which they spend on terrorist actions against the West, and spend on indirect business bribes to Western leaders to allow the Islamic migration to continue. Let the migrants go to Saudi Arabia and stay.

Like many of our moslem friends they were just ‘ROLE PLAYING’ which is necessary to settle their minds after listening to their imams at the mosque.
islam is projecting insanity with a billion or more going to their mosque each day and hearing the insane ideas of the imams to rape, rob, murder, behead burn and poison the infidel this acts as black, negative prayer to be received by those with weak, criminal minds and may be responsible for the insane horror stories we read about each day.
I asked my daughter, who is 14 and likes role playing, if she had ever role played ISIS or Hezbollah. She assured me that she had not.
I wonder if it is legal to role play Jan Sobieski or perhaps Charles Martel?

” According to our information, this man is an Afghan asylum seeker. The man is unknown to the police and intelligence services.”
Then they are the ones responsible for the death of this young person and all of the misery and cost the injured are enduring. Shame on the government entities who KNOW someone is going to do evil and do not deport the person back to their country.

All that was needed to stop this was a single person armed with a gun. Being armed is the exact opposite of “submission”, the very meaning of “I-slam” in Arabic.

Readers, before the posts of condemnation of the “French” take over, please spare a thought for what that family of the 19 year old young man are going through right now.
A much loved son, brother, it matters little,he had a family who doubtless loved him more that the French political class loved him because he lost his life and they still have theirs.
Their world right now is in ruins. I know.

It’s interesting that you refer to the downed Malaysian airliner.
The intelligence services know better, but the international press managed, even with their non-stop coverage of the event, to conceal the motive behind the disaster.
There was little or no mention in the press, at the time, or since, of the fact that the Chinese had just begun to incarcerate large numbers of Uighurs, a largely Muslim ethnic minority.
While most people on board Flight 370 were of Chinese origin, the pilot, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, was himself both politically active and a devout Muslim.
Captain Shah had conducted a simulated flight deep into the remote southern Indian Ocean less than a month before the plane vanished under uncannily similar circumstances.
Yet the plane’s disappearance remains a “mystery.”
“If it was a deliberate Jihad he had a duty to declare it as per the Koran.” Where is any such requirement stated in any of the holey books of islum? If a muslum kills you and no one knows about it, allah still would and allah is all that matters. His reward is granted by allah.
