A British man was among those injured in a suspected terrorist attack in Paris which left a German tourist dead, the Foreign Office has confirmed.

A 25-year-old man, who was said to be undergoing psychiatric treatment, attacked a German couple with a knife on Saturday night, killing the man, and used a hammer to injure two others, according to reports.

French officials said the man cried 'Allahu Akbar', which means God is great, at the scene. The Foreign Office on Sunday confirmed it was 'supporting a British man who was injured in Paris' and said its officials were 'in contact with the local authorities'.

He hasn't been named and his age isn't known. The extent of his injuries also hasn't been revealed.
