The attack took place near the Kurdish cultural center, in the 10th arrondissement of the French capital, on the tenth day of the unsolved murder of three activists from the Kurdish community.
The police arrested a 69-year-old man on suspicion of the attack.
The suspect was recently released from custody, after being suspected of an attack on a migrant camp in Paris about a year ago.
The investigators stated that the suspect had a racist motive - according to reports, the suspect admitted to his investigators, "I am a racist."

The suspect was previously accused of attempted murder, once in 2016 and again in December of last year, when he tried to attack immigrants with a sword in a camp in the Bersi neighborhood of the city.
Following the last case he was arrested, but was finally released.
In the coming days, the authorities will demand an explanation as to why he was released despite his criminal record.
