Footage from the scene shows people running in panic and a body covered in blood.

CNN affiliate BFM-TV said there is no known motivation for the attack at this time.

Disturbing footage purportedly filmed from the window of Hotel Louvre Marsollier on Rue Marsollier, where the attack took place, was posted by Carol Drummond on Twitter.

It showed people running through the streets in a panic, as a body lays on a crosswalk in the street. Drummond has since deleted the video.

‘Carol Drummond’ who allegedly filmed the #Paris #France opera attack was deleted the original video link and has now ‘protected tweets’.

Any one care to suggest as to WHY? I can assure you that video went VIRAL within minutes by agencies @haloefekti pic.twitter.com/hjGhqTwzth

Presumably, Paris will shortly follow London’s lead and ban knives too. Original source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/zerohedge/feed/~3/ygjwor2yF4k/one-victim-killed-attacker-dead-mass-stabbing-attack-central-paris
