Three women - aged 19, 24 and 36 - were taken to hospital after the attack, with two of them reportedly suffering serious but non-life-threatening injuries. One was stabbed in the back, and the other in the abdomen.
The attacker was reportedly armed with two knives when he carried out the attack, which took place near Place de Clichy at lunchtime on Monday. An off-duty police officer was able to arrest the man quickly after the incident.
The suspect's identity is still unclear, as is the motive for the crime.
