The attack happened on Saturday night (2 December) in Quai de Grenelle, less than a kilometre away from the famous Parisienne landmark. A 66-year-old British tourist and a French man in his 60s were injured.
The BBC reports a 26-year-old male suspect was tasered before being arrested and charged with premeditated murder and attempted assassination in relation to a terrorist enterprise.
Prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard said the suspect was known to authorities and had been imprisoned between 2016 and 2020 for making plans to travel to Syria and join Isis.
