A man has died after being stabbed in the throat in the Paris suburb of Conflans St Honorine and the attacker has been shot, a French police source said. 

It was not immediately clear if the attacker had died, the source added. 

France’s anti-terror prosecutor said it is investigating the stabbing. Witnesses heard the attacker shout "Allahu Akbar" before the attack, according to a police source.  

Police on Twitter are asking the public to avoid the area between the Boulevard de la Commune de Paris and the corner of the Boulevard Salengro in Eragny Sur Oise.
